Flint Creek Range

The Flint Creek Mountains rise up like a rocky tsunami on the Montana landscape with the highest peak reaching a bit over 10,000 feet.   Located near the halfway point between Helena and Missoula, the mountains draw your attention the instant you first round a corner or emerge from river bottomland and sight them.  

I have posted a photograph I took of the Flint Creek Range on a drive to Missoula yesterday.   I like the photo principally because it captures most of what Montana has to offer: lush meadows, wild elk in the foreground, grassy hills, craggy peaks, and sky.
