This area of Montana is primarily gentle rolling hills and basins full of lakes, ponds, or low lying water. It was very different from the MT of Whitefish. We went thru farmland, wheat fields, alfalfa fields, hops, and eventually cattle country. We did go thru a small but very beautiful area called Monarch Canyon and ended up in White Sulfur Springs. A lot of the area had little to no trees because the land can not support their growth. In talking with a gentleman, I found out that the barren land of WA, ID, and MT was in fact, a high desert and doesn't support any thing other than sagebrush, which also occurs in some specific local areas. Go figure!?
Right now, there are green rolling fields for as far as I can see .....
Tomorrow is a quick drive to The Museum of the Rockies and Billings, but we may add to the day...
