Mission Mountain Range (5)

Photos in this gallery prominently feature western Montana's Mission Mountain Range. We live in the Mission Valley, so we have at large number of photos in which the range is seen. Many of those can be found in our galleries of pictures from the Ninepipe NWR and Flathead Lake. Here, the main focus is on the mountains themselves.

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 were we live on the west side.
