Did you know that some of the landscapes you see in the Bitterroot Valley were created when Glacial Lake Missoula  covered the valley as far as Lake Como during the Ice Ages? The flood features are subtle but an essential part of the story.  These include lake lines, beach deposits, and erratics. Some of our views from the bus can be traced to J.T. Pardee, the geologist who lived near Philipsburg and made these discoveries in the early 1900’s. The bus trip will also include a stop at the Ravalli County Museum and the overlook at Blodgett Canyon. 

Deadline for registration is Monday, May 5th. 
Bring your own lunch and water.  Some water and snacks will be available.
Some walking on rough terrain.
