Saint Mary Montana
One reason I like to camp at the Saint Mary Campground is the expansive views. The other drive-in campgrounds in the park are in forest settings - great mountain and lake views, but more enclosed. Saint Mary sits where the prairie rolls up against the Rocky Mountains. There are small aspen, and a few conifer trees - nothing significant enough to block your view. Top left, the moon rises high above the southern peaks. The sun sinks behind Singleshot Mountain, above. Both photos were shot from my campsite. Different colored berries grew in the bushes nearby. They didn't attract any bears. I try to snag the highest campsite. It's at the far eastern end of the campground and has the best open view in all directions.
