Flathead Lake is supposed to be the largest freshwater lake west of the 
Mississippi leaving out Alaska but it's only a shadow of its former self. 
there is a rest area on 93 south of St. Ignatius before you drop down into 
the Mission Valley and I often stop there to take in the view.

I haven't been to the Bison Range in a few years. I've got the Golden Age 
pass that used to work but they gave the range back to the Salish and 
Kootenai Tribe two years ago and I don't know what they charge. I do know 
I used to get the reservation recreation permit when it was $10 but they 
bumped that to $100. I've got plenty of other places to recreate than the 
rez.
