Quite > impressive; the valley was hu-u-ge. 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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_Mountains#/media/ File:Mission_Mountains_National_Bison_Range_Montana.jpg 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.
