Montana Fall Explosion: While this foliage season has been kind of a bust in many areas of Montana, the first is in my back yard (well, not literally, but close!) of the Swan River...

While this foliage season has been kind of a bust in many areas of Montana, the first is in my back yard (well, not literally, but close!) of the Swan River near Bigfork, MT and the second is of Summit Lake near Seeley Lake. Our early freeze seems to have diminished the colors in a lot of locations but these are some of the best I've found this year. Enjoy!

I wish I could be in the area in Fall. I spend a week in Glacier each of the last four summer and am going back in late June. The first shot is my favorite and beautiful work!! Thanks for posting.

I am partial to the first shot as well. Just wanted to show the different manifestations of the fall colors in different areas. Thanks so much for all your comments and taking the time to post. Much appreciated!

They are both beautiful, but I agree with everyone else. The first is exceptional.
