Winding Down Through Bozeman Pass
….And Into The Irrigated Green Valley Of Montana State University.
[ “ .... we go over a low pass and into Bozeman itself. .... suddenly I’m looking forward to what’s ahead.“ ]

Halfway Down Bozeman Pass, Just East of, Bozeman, MT. As I went over this pass on my 2002 trip along this Interstate, I looked for a good photo place that showed the walls of the mountain pass and the edge of the town. But there was never any such view. And it was too late to go back.
…But in September 2006, I remembered to stop sooner, and /\ Above /\ Photo is the result, but minus any evidence of the town! All the brown grass is because of dry season in September.
….The blue haze is smoke from extensive forest fires in Colorado about a thousand miles away. Those fires must have been huge to cause this much smoke so far away! This smoke persisted for more than the two weeks duration my 2006 trip from Red Lodge through Bozeman MT, to Helena MT, and back through YNP, and the Grand Tetons!
