Gates of the Moutains

Today just wasn't our day. We stopped for gas in Browning and it took us over 20 minutes. We headed south and our planned route on U.S. 287 was closed, so we headed east to Great Falls and then back west toward Helena. Our planned stop for the day was at Gates of the Mountains, named by Lewis and Clark as they entered the Bent Mountains. We had planned on taking a boat trip, but because of the delays we weren't going to make the 1:00 boat. So we stopped in a beautiful scenic stop in the mountains for lunch. Expecting something besides the boat trip at this recreation area we went in, and there really wasn't anything other than some historic plaques explaining the ranching history of the area. We headed on to Bozeman and spent the night at the KOA there.
