Earlier in the summer, well before the smoke and fires, I was fortunate to spend a glorious day in the Bitterroot National Forest. This 1.587 million acre national forest straddles the Montana/Idaho border, culminating in the spectacular 10,157 foot Trapper Peak.
Most people visit Montana because of Glacier National Park and Yellowstone National Park. But I find the Bitterroots to be just as scenic. It’s likely the range would be a national park, if not for the other two.
Last fall I was lucky to film this bull moose feeding on aquatic vegetation in Glacier National Park. Here’s hoping for cooler times once more in Montana, which is currently being hammered by widespread fires and poor air quality.
Hey everyone,
Things are crazy out here in western Montana. Fires are blowing up all over the place. There is good news, however. “The Invasive 2: Remnants” is out! The novel once again takes place in Montana, and features the same cast of characters from the popular “The Invasive”. I had a lot of fun writing the sequel, and I’m glad it’s finally out.
You can grab a copy of the novel here.
Best,

Every so often Montana will give you a jaw-dropping scene. I had to wait this bear out, but eventually the bear’s hunger took over as it dug up rocks for grubs.
We had a rare smoke free day in Montana yesterday, so I had to take advantage. I explored a location about 45 minutes from Missoula, and came face to face with this black bear.
