NOTE: for many more pictures taken on this journey to Great Falls, see this page.

I wish this slide had been marked as to location—it's an old-fashioned ski area, possibly in Colorado. It was taken after the shots at Independence Pass (see link above) and before the ones of the Tetons.

This is the dam at one end of Jackson Lake, the beautiful water that forms the foreground of the following two pictures of the Grand Tetons:

Here are two slides from a different box, but one which seems contemporary with the "trip north" box, and certainly these are the Tetons:

Here are two close bear encounters, probably taken in Yellowstone:

This slide wasn't labelled, but it looks like Old Faithful; the black and white photo, which might possibly be from the early 1950's trip, definitely is:

Here are three slides of the spectacular Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, getting closer and closer to the falls:

The following black and white shots were not labelled, but were probably also of the Falls (although the last one looks like it might be of a different waterfall). They were in a camera shop envelope addressed to the Fir Street location, so they must have been taken early in our Montana sojourn, probably from the "trip north."

The following two slides show another Yellowstone attraction: Mammoth Hot Springs, first Springs and town, then just the town:

Here are two slides taken later in the trip. They may be of the Missouri River, as we got close to Great Falls:

Finally, at the end of our long journey, we see the city that will be our home for almost 5 years. In the first picture you can see the distinctive Anaconda smokestack; in the second, in the distance at the right, the mountains that I remember looking at past the end of our street.
