Mission Mountain Range (4)

Photos in this gallery prominently feature western Montana's Mission Mountain Range. We live in the Mission Valley, so we have a large number of photos in which the range is seen. The main focus here is on the mountains themselves or pictures we find when hiking or camping in the Mission Range.

The first three photos below were made on a backpacking hike on the east side of the Mission Range, making these pictures quite different from those made where we live on the west side.
