    At 3:56 you shot ahead 1/2 mile. Had you kept the video onin about ten seconds my property was on the right. That 'pretty big mountain" called
    Eagle mtn. Surprised you didn't see mtn sheep when you were running the drone. The River seldom freezes fully. Too swift.

    1998, when I was 58 years old, a friend and I flew to Portland, Maine bungeed our camping gear on our bicycles and rode back to Anacortes, Washington. Took us three months, 3600 miles. Rode Highway 2. The way the towns are spaced in Montana, it seems like they were about 30 miles apart, you either went 30 miles and cut your day short, or had to commit to 60 or 90. We didn’t want to camp out in the open prairie so we usually stayed in motels in Montana. It was 108° when we rode into Havre, Montana at noon.Seems like we stayed in Shelby and then Cut Bank. From Cut Bank we rode through Browning and spent that night in St. Mary because our bicycle maps routed us through Glacier Park.I just subscribed so I can travel vicariously through you.

    Great Falls, "the Electric City" because of the the Missouri River waterfalls & it's 5 hydroelectric dams - Black Eagle, Rainbow, Cochrane, Ryan, & Morony dams; Giant Springs, it's large fresh water spring; and home and resting place of famous western cowboy artist CM Russell

    Thank you for posting this! My grandparents and then my parents owned one of the homes on the left at 1:56 from some time in the 70s (I believe) until my parents sold in 2007. I have the best memories of living out there on the river! And yes, the drives in the middle of winter could get brutal!! Then there was summer...we were either dealing with the fires or flooding. My little sister and I would call that mountain with the "steps" across the river "our" mountain and it was such a relief to see after driving home from either Helena or Great Falls. We knew we were home! 💛🥰 I have so many stories about black bears getting into our trash, mountain lions resting under our neighbor's tree (the "Good Luck Camp" side)...I could go on and on! I went to elementry school in Craig, waaaaayyyyyy back before the schoolhouse was the firehouse! :) This brings back so many memories for me! Again, thank you for recording and sharing this!!! :)

    I live in Washington state near Seattle, I drove truck for 30 years delivery of groceries to stores in Montana and love the state it is vast. I loved the winter driving was dangerous but exciting too. Covered the whole state on my job. Retired now and would love to drive the state in my car.

    Yeah, that's the bridge where Elliot Ness, the Untouchabes, and the Mounted Police intercept a bootleg whiskey shipment in the 1987 film. As for Shelby, one of its claims to fame is that it hosted a Jack Dempsey prize fight back in 1924. That drive up US-2 into West Glacier is breathtaking , though the last time I did it was during a blizzard so far less fun lol. If you do stop in Kalispell be sure to walk around the historic downtown.

    You need to go to Fort Benton is the birthplace of Montana and stop on 87 here "Missouri River Overlook" and put your drone up there and get some beautiful footage there. The Missouri river twist and turns there its the best viewing ever.

    We stayed at that campground in Cut Bank about 8 days ago. Not a particularly aesthetically pleasing campground but the new owners were hard at work making improvements. We escaped the midday heat hanging out in the park by the creek
    just below the campground. If by chance you side trip up 89 to St Mary’s there is some major construction work going on with delays.
