Yesterday we met a couple on one of our hikes that were staying in the town of Whitefish Mt. It sounded like a cool mountain town and it was only 25 miles down the road from the KOA. We decided to stay here another night and visit Whitefish, and we really hadn't given any thought to where we were going next anyway. Whitefish has a ski area that becomes a mountain biking mecca in the summer. Jenny & I rode the chairlift up to the top and did a 4 mile hike back down. All today's pics were taken on that hike. On a different subject, we learned that yesterday set the record for the most number of consecutive days without measurable precipitation in Montana history. It hasn't rained a drop all summer. There is no rain in the forecast. This is interesting to me because East Texas has just had the largest rainfall event ever recorded and the most powerful Atlantic hurricane ever measured has just come ashore in Florida. This seems to be an unbelievably inconvenient coincidence.
Looks like nice trails
