Starting to see the Canola fields flowering.
Green, green, green... it's really green in my area with all this rain lately. Beautiful shot!
Camp Melita Island on Flathead Lake
Actually the logging was done to prevent further spread of bark beetles which had killed lots of trees. This work was done under the supervision of professional forest management volunteers. Additionally several hundred trees have been planted over the past three years.
Any possibility of trees falling on campers is big liability these days, the bark beetle infestation makes sense for the clearing. My brother has great memories from there in the 60’s, I’m glad they could keep it going for scouts to enjoy.
It was a great place to earn your merit badges. Swimming, canoeing, fishing. Went there in the summer a few times in the 70's. I especially remember going across the water in the old WWII barge! What a memory!
It was a beautifully forested island until about 5 years ago when they doubled the number of scouts and trampled the ground under the trees which resulted in their death.
Boy Scouts of America own the island and give a great opportunity for kids from all over the country a chance to be on Flathead Lake.
Is it all privately owned , can someone dock their boat and visit?
I’ve camped there!
When my neighbors and I first noticed the trees dying we asked BSA what was going on. They said it was some sort of rust fungus, and told us it was going to wipe out everything on the mainland as well. If you notice the only trees that died were the area is that saw a high traffic from campers, the side facing the mainland rarely if ever saw a camper traffic, inconsequently those trees have flourished.
Thank you beautiful picture my mom grew up in Polson Montana my Beautiful Flathead Lake. Her dad VERN owned the UTSOND Meat Locker plant in POLSON & also had a Cherry & Apple orchard so it was always our yearly vacation & so much fun to hang out with my mom's little brother LINK / Harold UTSOND🎀
Good picture, thanks. And thanks to BSA who have been using that island for longer than I am alive. (75) and teaching young people how to properly enjoy and use our planet. Ken Cass, native Montanan.
My uncles cabin is right across the bay from Melita, I've caught a lot of fish in that area.
Again we see where humans and their quest for pleasure & money are destroying beautiful areas of nature. How sad!
I need to live there!!!
Beautiful!

Last evening over Bigfork with the haze.
#Bigfork
Two things in this photo. The reason why I moved away from Montana and a reason why I miss Montana. Winters are long and cold. You wait most of the year for summer to arrive and when it does it is spoiled by smoke.
Sure hate to see the ff smoke this soon. Hope Canada gets them under control.
Awesome photo!
We have lots of smoke down in my area yesterday and today. Hopefully it will go away with the front coming in from the West.
i KNOW THAT PLACE.
ALberta is burning up.
nice 👍
Lake Blain?
Thank you! Absolutely stunning photo!
Gorgeous photo!
Likewise, beautiful picture.
Absolutely gorgeous, love that lake!
I sent you a private message. Not sure if you saw it.
Awesome ❤️

I enjoy your photos very much and have a question. Are you in a plane or helicopter or using a drone?
Wow! Amazing!
Magnificent!
It's always a treat flying next to the Mission Mountains.
I visit my grand on Foothill Rd, sometimes hear/see a plane, wonder if it is you.
Key word NEXT!
Awesome ❤️
Spring time over the Flathead Valley.
#FlatheadRiver
Wow the river is high. I hope people use common sense if they recreate on or around it. Stay safe out there
Water is rising.. be safe everyone..
It will be lower when you get there.

Yesterday over Holland Lake.
#FlyMontana
Absolutely Awesome 🤩 🤩🤩
Less than an hour from my home... I need to vow to spend more time there.
To whom this may concern: I love this place and I would like to be married here 💝💝
Gorgeous ❤️❤️ #savehollandlake #powderissoulfulofshit
Such deep blue water. Pristine. Save this special place from big developers. What a sad loss it would be. We must save places like this for our children's children's children.
You fly so much.
Spectacular! A special place. I've hiked, and road my horse on most the tails around Holland Lake. Several of the tails head to the Bob Marshall Wilderness.
I got engaged to my wife while on a canoe on that beautiful lake! A place of true beauty and inspiration!
Save Holland Lake from big delvelopers
Save Holland Lake . No big developers
One of the prettiest places in the Swan. Nice hiking trails.
Packed around the lake six times on elk trip in the Bob Marshall 28 miles by horse back to base camp.
My wife’s favorite lake!
Beautiful!☘️💗🕉🌷
Remind The Forest Service - Flathead National Forest that a POWDR owned resort at Holland Lake is NOT in the public interest! POWDR will destroy this place!
There more snow in the sierras left than that crazy
Are their privatly owned by the river?
Are their private homes still there?
What's with all the banners on the hiway.
And money hungry buttholes wanna ruin this pristine beauty!! FOR SHAME!!
Save Holland Lake!!

Going to the Sun Road snow report.
#goingtothesunroad
I remember my first time there. Absolutely breathtaking
it is almost like GNP wouldn't want you to know that. The job expands to fit the time and budget allotted.
It looks so strange to see so little snow, when the valleys got so much.
Two of my uncles worked on the crew building the road. They told interesting stories about it.
no way! are these current?
Thanks for sharing these great shots! Very recognizeable.
Great shots!! Love your pictures!!
We enjoy your photos everytime and appreciate the effort for sure.
So sad and scary all at the same time for the lack of snow 😔
Boy are you the luckiest to be able to see the park like this!
Kim Johnson Todd -The lack of snow scares me for this summer 😔
We made the drive 2 years ago…it was an amazing experience
Let’s open the road to the loop!!!
Doesn’t look right.
Have you been over Ashley Lake lately?

Mud Lake at the bottom and many more above tucked in the Mission Mountains. #flymontana
My best friend lived just below Mud Lake up against the mountain, we hiked there often as kids in the early 60's.
Great picture ❤️
Awesome‼️
Looks like a crater!
