The Big Water "Selkirk Loop Super Side Trip"-Lake Pend Oreille and Clark Fork Country-Part I

Highway 200 near the Montana State Line-The Cabinet Range rises up on the Northern Flank...
A buck with velvet still on his rack dashes for shelter just east of Hope, Idaho...
Near the Clark Fork River Delta, just as it empties into Lake Pend Oreille...
Lake Pend Oreille, looking south toward the Monarch Range and toward the Bitterroots...
One of several inhabited islands in the lake...
Looking west toward Sandpoint, Idaho and the Selkirk Range.
A visual display recounting the great Missoula Floods...click on the picture to enlarge and read these displays...
Looking due south toward the deeper bays on the lake...
For more information, as always the folks at http://www.selkirkloop.org are ready to send out maps and more detailed information about the area.
