Jewel Basin, Western Montana (2)

The photos in this gallery were made during multi-day backpacking trips into western Montana's Jewel Basin in the Flathead National Forest. These pictures were made with a Sony α7CR and Sony's 20-70mm F/4.0 G lens, new to us for the 2025 hiking season. See our Equipment and Setup page for details.
