July 4, 2008 - Day Trip

I took a short drive (approximately 20 miles) through part of the Flathead NF and Coram Experimental Forest during the day on July 4, 2008. Not much commentary, just some pretty pictures. Notice the altitude change and snow capped mountains.

Driving in.

Below is Belton Point on Desert Mountain at about 6,400 feet. End of the road for driving.

Hiking.

Me relaxing after short hike. Planned to roast hot dogs, but the lightening started and I decided to seek shelter!

Driving out a different route.

Spent the evening in Hungry Horse, MT where the July 4th celebration was something else. It was basically a street party with anyone and everyone setting off their own fireworks. Maybe I'll post a few pics and a couple of videos later.
