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.

Black bear in Big Sky country
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.
Black bear, western Montana
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.
The Lolo Peak Fire
This image was captured at 11:30 last night, from Missoula, Montana.
The Lolo Peak fire has been a monster from the beginning, and shows no signs of slowing down. For most of July and August, it burned in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness and adjacent national forest land. But now it’s burning down the ridge, towards Highway 93.
Lolo Peak fire, August 16th
Taken from my house, around 8 pm. We’re going through a wicked fire season here in western Montana, trigged by a record-setting fifty days of no measurable rain.
Currently, there are evacuations for parts of Lolo and Florence.
In any season, Montana brings challenges. It is still however, the most beautiful place in the world.
