Trip to the National Bison Range

On Saturday, we took a trip out to the National Bison Range, between Moiese and St. Ignatius. I was covering a story there and figured it would be a great opportunity to take Bek and the children for a family outing, afterward. The range had a 19 mile loop of ascending and descending road that wound through the hills and eventually came back to the visitor's center. Along that whole drive we only saw three or four bison, out of a herd of 300-350. Finally, near the end of the loop, we came across a group that must have contained the vast majority of the herd. Here are some pictures:
