We stayed last night at Wilderness Gateway Camp in the parking lot. That is a beautiful campground because you aren't right next to your neighbors and it is full of trees and greenery. You hear the sound of rushing water from any of the loops. We hiked around from 6-8:30 enjoying the trails, Boulder Creek and the Lochsa.
This morning we stopped at the DeVoto Grove Cedar Forest, mature cedars (at least 500 years old). Did you know that cedar trees can live up to 3000 years? There's a cool walking path and picnic tables...but today forest service guys were removing some dead trees.
We were going to stop and hike at either Weir Hotsprings or Jerry Johnson Hotsprings, but they were both really crowded with cars...so we skipped them. We'll check them out again on our return trip.
Lolo Pass has really improved their visitor center. It is real nice with some nature trails that we walked on. I tried to work on my blog, but the computer crashed. I got it checked out in Missoula and the Computer Guy fixed it for me ($38). I hope it stays working from now on.
We're traveling between Missoula and Butte right now. Here are a few pics.
