The Clark Fork River is the largest river in the state of Montana. It is 360 miles long and feeds the Columbia River from western Montana and northern Idaho.

Glaciers still exist in my home area. I had been up to the top of a mountain just over the border in Idaho and got to see the 20 foot thick piece of ice that has been there for 15,000 years. Since I live 4 miles from Idaho, the state borders were not a consideration that long ago. It was all part of Lake Missoula. Glacial Lake Missoula was the size of Lake Ontario and Lake Erie combined. The plug in the bathtub so to speak, was located right where I live in Heron Montana. When the ice sheet plug melted away, the lake drained through the valley there and formed Lake Pend Oreille.

Here you will find a place to search for those things that are on your mind and have been bugging you for a week!

I will be including interactive maps for the different areas on my home state of Montana as we cover them. I hope you find them useful. I will try and include maps for each area of discussion so you can take a look and plan your vacation.
