The first week of July, we traveled
to Montana and explored Western Montana top to bottom.
After departing Glacier National Park,
we stayed the evening in Bigfork on the shores of Flathead Lake.
We had planned a boat rental the next day, but that was spoiled
by rain, so we drove down to our next destination which was Big
Sky Ski Resort in Southwest Montana.

Flathead Lake from our Airbnb balcony... Flathead lake is nearly
197 square miles and the largest fresh water lake west of the
Mississippi...
