McDonald Peak, the highest in Montana’s Mission Mountain Range at 9,820ft, looms in the distance behind the massive Sheep’s Head Peak at left. These peaks are a backdrop to the small town of St. Ignatius located in western Montana.

I’m still traveling in western Montana this week, chasing elk, bison and fall colors before winter arrives. Peaks are now snow-capped and it’s looking spectacular out here! Here’s one from last night as the last light of day was touching the massive peaks of the Mission Mountains near St. Ignatius. Rising abruptly from the valley floor, the Missions make an impressive backdrop with McDonald Peak, the highest peak in the range, topping out at almost 10,000 feet.
