Like two forests in one package, the Lewis & Clark National Forest of west central Montana has two distinct divisions. The rugged mountain peaks of the Rocky Mountain Division often hold snow for 10 months of the year. This long backbone of a mountain range stretches south of Glacier National Park with seemingly endless paralleling ridges and valleys. The six mountain ranges of the Jefferson Division appear to be islands of forest dotting expanses of wheat and ranch lands. Each range has its own unique character, from gently rolling hillsides to rugged, rocky peaks. The Lewis and Clark is truly a forest for everyone to explore.
