Before Jim broke his wrist we were having a good time gold panning at a site along Libby Creek. The area was mined for gold in the past and is now a gold panning site the forest service supports. You dig out some dirt from a big hill of gravel and pan it out. We found a small amount of gold and may have found more if we could have kept at it.
We did some more sightseeing around Libby. We went to the Ross Creek Cedar area. You walk along the trail and see the most amazing cedar trees. They are very old and as you can see HUGE. It is just a mile loop trail nice and level so Jim could manage it. The drive to the area was equally beautiful. Overall the whole northwest corner of Montana is great. The summer weather is usually in the 80s with low humidity and few biting bugs. We would love to go back to the Libby area in the future.
We are now back in Kalispell and finally getting our chance to go on the Going To The Sun road.
