Crossing the Kootenai

That road eventually led us over south of Troy, nearly into Idaho. We camped there for two nights, so we could see some local sites.

The first place we visited was the Kootenai River. We hiked in one direction up to the Falls there, the base of which is reportedly the lowest point in Montana: some 1820 feet above sea level. Then we hiked something better than a mile or so downriver, to this footbridge. They call it "The Swinging Bridge," because it does. Swing, and sway, and creak...

...and worth every bit of it, because this is the view from the middle.
