Stevensville MT.-Kootenai Creek Fire
Bitterroot Range near Stevensville MT
During the PNW trike fly-in at Stevensville, MT in July 2018, I took a few flights around the Bitterroot valley and along the Bitterroot mountain range. During this flight I flew over toward St Joseph Peak and Lolo Peak along the Bitterroot range. You can see large blackened areas that burned during the Lolo fires of 2017. Great flight but significant turbulence on final coming back to 32S. I had my new GoPro 6 on a temporary mount on wing tip winglet and unfortunately when flying at low AoA with significant turbulence the recorded video had a fair amount of vibration. Music is a bluegrass version of Goodbye Blue Sky on the Pickin' on Pink Floyd series.

Western Montana Mountains Bitterroot River Valley | MT Places To Live
The Great American West. A landscape of green valleys, rivers, lakes, and of course the amazing Rocky Mountains. The Bitterroot River’s headwaters begin high up in the Sapphire and Bitterroot Mountain ranges and flow north through the fertile Bitterroot Valley.
The valley is home to scenic destinations such Trapper Peak, Blodgett Canyon, Twin Lakes, Lake Como, Painted Rocks Reservoir, Big Creek, Bitterroot River, Lost Trail Powder Mountain, Skalkaho Falls, Hot Springs, and is the gate way to the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Area.
Nine small communities call this valley home including Sula, Conner, Darby, Hamilton, Corvallis, Victor, Stevensville, Florence, and Lolo.
John Muir once said “the mountains are calling and I must go”.
The Rocky Mountains are the “Crown of the Continent”, and provide awe inspiring mountains, peaks, valleys, and abundant wildlife. The Bitterroot River flows between the Bitterroot and Sapphire Mountain ranges. Elk, Deer, and Moose call this valley home. These mountains embody the spirit of the Rockies, where generations have sought their embrace.
For thousands of years, the Kootenai, Salish, Flathead, and Blackfoot tribes thrived off this wild and fertile landscape. They lived their lives according to the rhythm of nature and survived on her good harvest.
In the summer of 1805, Lewis and Clark explored the Bitterroot Valley on their way to the Pacific Ocean. Famous mountain men like John Colter, Jim Bridger, and Jerimiah Johnston wandered this land not for riches, not for gold, but for the pure adventure.
In 1840 Father Pierre De Smit accompanied a brigade from the American Fur Company into the Rocky Mountains and started the St. Mary’s mission in present day Stevensville.
Settlers flocked to the Bitterroot seeking its fertile soils and warm climate for growing vegetables and raising livestock. To this day several families can trace their roots back to original homesteaders telling tales of adversity, adventure, and love that encompasses several generations.
In 1964 the United States Congress set aside 1.3 million acres of raw wilderness and named it the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness Area.
The Bitterroot Mountain Range extends over 300 hundred miles and borders the valley to the west. Known for its awe-inspiring mountain peaks, lakes, trails, fishing and hunting.
Equally breathtaking with a vastly different landscape. The Sapphire Mountains lie to the east and provide a mixture of grassy slopes, timbered draws, and rushing creeks.
Skalkaho Falls is a well-known landmark and plunges over 100 feet. The crystal-clear water originates high in the alpine meadows, and meanders through the lush forest to the Bitterroot Valley below.
Trapper Peak is a rugged mountain and its pinnacle extends to ten thousand feet above sea level. Lewis and Clark were the first to see the peak and made comments in their journal about its rugged nature.
Blodgett Canyon towers above the quant town of Hamilton. This massive rock canyon creates the perfect back drop providing a rare glimpse of the world behind the wall of mountains.
Beautiful Lake Como is only a short distance from Hamilton. This pristine lake provides breath taking vistas, water sports, and miles of trails to explore.
Nine small communities are situated along the banks of the Bitterroot River. Each has retained their charm and sense of community. The Bitterroot River is the heart and soul of these small towns, and its residents enjoy the river bottom for fishing, hunting, and water sports.
The Bitterroot begins with the quaint town of Sula. A town of only 37 residents nestled along the East Fork of the Bitterroot River. The East Fork of the Bitterroot boast an abundant fishery, and some of the best hunting opportunities in Montana.
Hamilton is the largest town in the Bitterroot Valley with a population just under 13,000 residents. Hamilton is the epicenter of the Bitterroot Valley, and provides fine dining, shops, and all the necessities.
The town of Stevensville is etched in history and holds the distinct honor of being the birthplace of Montana. The well-preserved buildings and artifacts of the St Mary’s Mission afford visitors a glimpse of the historical beginnings of the Montana territory. Stevensville is also known for its postcard perfect main street with quaint shops, eateries, and American spirit.
Life in the Bitterroot Valley is centered around the rhythm of nature, inspiring mountains, lakes, and the Bitterroot River. This wild country beacons, whispers, and calls to the adventurer in all of us. If you could like to own your Montana dream please contact John Anderson.

Trapper Peak, Montana - A Father-Daughter Adventure
Watch in 1080 HD
September 2016 - I visited my dad in Montana and decided to climb Trapper Peak; 10,157 feet. It loomed in the distance; the tallest mountain of the Bitterroot Mountain Range. He said, I'll meet you at the top.
All aerial shots are taken by me in Dad's 1959 Cessna 182B Skylane. His fly-over was in his Van's RV-6, amateur built.
