Coming to Montana from the Santa Ynez Valley it is hard to sometimes imagine that other parts of the country have rivers that flow and waterfalls that do more than trickle this time of year.
Having had a very successful board meeting, Robin, Nick, their dog, Jane, and I head off today for a hike to Morrell Falls — just north of Seely Lake — in the Lolo National Forest and at the base of the Swan Mountain Range. It is an easy 4.5 mile roundtrip hike that passes through Lodgepole Pine forest. The falls are beautiful and the sound is thunderous as huge amounts of water cascade down the 90' double drop. It is hard, actually, to photograph as the banks are swollen and the spray is like a cold shower!
