MONTANA is... the coldest cold
(-70 degreesF) yet spots can reach 117 degrees! Montana Map Great Falls, discovered by Lewis & Clark, had 5 Great Falls that stopped their navigation of the Missouri River. All have been turned into Dams, yet vestiges of fast flowing water can still be seen. The 5 Great Falls are Black Eagle Dam (which still has smattering of the original Falls), Morony Dam (some sulphur springs near by), Ryan Dam, Rainbow Dam and the highpoint of Heritage Park, Giant Springs. |

This gallery is
filled with unique sights that are in every corner of Montana!
A modern-day wind farm perches
on a hilltop, surrounded by stripes of crops
planted in strip farm fields. The older hydroelectric
power lines curve around the road, showing the past
and the future in one scene.
The Rockies tower above Canyon Ferry Lake as
Antelope dance toward their
watering hole.
The train put Montana on the Map! The Great Northern
Railroad dared the northernmost transcontinental railroad
route...opening much undeveloped territory.
The Great Northern was the inspiration to
rail lines that followed.
Traveling to the original entrance of Yellowstone
NP in Southern Montana you pass the
Gallatin Hills on the
Yellowstone
River. Go far, far north and you'll find
large expanses of wheat fields.
South of Missoula is Lolo Peak
and colorful ranches.
There's more! Go to
