This is a view from our daughter’s place, facing west. This is the direction we normally come from when we go to the Mission Valley. It clearly shows the mountains aren’t just on one side and this is part of the section of the Rockies that go right past our town. They look quite a bit different with snow on the ground, too. The picture takes in part of the town of Mission as well as a lot of the valley, but it is difficult to even make out the town. That is because most of the towns in Montana are small. In fact, St. Ignatius has a population of under 1,000 and is comparable in size to the tiny town I live in. That population also includes the people in most of the valley that is shown and also the person who took the picture, our daughter.
