National Bison Range, Montana

I exited Olympic National Park on Highway 101 headed for Glacier National Park in Montana.  After crossing over to 12 in Aberdeen and then to Highway 8 through Olympia, Tacoma and several smaller towns, I made a one night stand in the Snoqualmie National Forest at the Cascades Campground.  The next day was a long drive on Interstate 90 through the rest of Eastern Washington through
Spokane, beautiful Coeur d'Alene and it's river and mountain range into the panhandle of Idaho for a short ride into Montana.  Northern Idaho's panhandle is the shortest West to East part of the state, although very pretty.  Interstate 90 continues into Montana where I then caught Highway 135 to 200 to 212 and then to 93 which all wind you through beautiul Flathaead country and the Kicking Horse Reservoir area. Before getting onto 93 I couldn't resist stopping at the National Bison Range, where the animals have free range of the park.  It is similar to Lion Country Safari in Florida, where you drive your car and view the animals. The park is beautiful with its winding mountain range and steep valleys. The 2 hour drive proved to be very enjoyable.  Enjoy some pictures.  TC...
