Wild ranches of Montana

A very pleasant evening on the balcony of our motel with a bottle of local wine, watching the sun set over the mountains in Radium Hot Springs.

It was soon time to leave Canada and head into Montana (border crossings, compared to Asia, are a complete breeze these days) - immediately the scenery changed to dry yellow fields; ranch country;

The ranch terrain provided wildlife for our entertainment - deer jumping fences alongside the road, and bounding alongside for 10's of metres before leaping back into the ranch from where they came - fab.

Ranch-land soon ran out, as we turned North-East for Glacier National park, and more pine covered mountains, glacial rivers, and scenic twisty roads - spoilt !!
