| Leaving Great Falls, we headed
south on I-15 to Helena, Montana's capital. |
 |
| Following the Missouri River, it
was a beautiful drive. There were a number of farms along the banks
of the river. |
 |
| The Missouri seemed to get
prettier the further south we drove. |
 |
| The rock formations were
fascinating. Notice the old wagon road in the lower part of the
photo. |
 |
| One of our side trips, while in
Helena, was a boat tour of "Gates of the Mountains". |
 |
| Early in the boat tour, we were
treated to the sighting of an eagle's nest. The female has been
nesting here for 16 years and has produced 48 eaglets during that
time. Eagles often live to be 50-60 years of age. |
 |
| Look closely and you can see an
osprey's nest on top of this rock pillar. |
