Bison and Buddhas

Packing up camp at Glacier and this guy came by camp.


On the drive south from Glacier to Missoula, we stopped by the National Bison Range.

To visit the range, one takes a loop drive through the park on a dirt road at around 10 MPH.  I expected to see herds of Bison, ala Dances With Wolves.  But all we saw were single bison here and there at a distance.



From a distance until we turned the corner and this guy was right next to the car. Bison Seflie time.


Looking North on the Flathead Valley in Big Sky Country


I occasionally check the website Atlas Obscura to see if there is any site on our route and about 20 miles north of Missoula there was one a half mile off the highway.

Not what you expect to see in Montana



The mountain setting did make it feel a bit like Tibet



We got to Missoula and decided to climb Mount Sentinel to the M that sits above the campus of University of Montana

Sunset over Missoula....and then dinner at a Chinese restaurant.
