Thanks, Kyle,
That's a very beautiful country there in Kalispell and Whitefish. I had the pleasure of traveling through there several times from the Kalispell airport to Blackfoot, just east of Browning on the reservation for project inspections. I remember coming back one time through the Sunset Highway and I didn't know that that was the national park and you had to pay to get in. Fortunately, the park ranger let me though without paying after seeing that I was wearing a suit and no camping gear.
Also, one mid-May, I drove through there and at one of the bends on the road near a waterfall, the spray from the falls was falling on the car's windshield like hail. That's how cold it was then, and it was mid afternoon with full sun.
The wind was blowing hard on the lake that it was forming surf-like waves that were odd shaped. I can see where they got the idea that there is a Loch Ness monster-like creature in that lake.
Oh! and there were still patches of snow on the grazing fields then, too.
