We were hoping to get started by 6am, but didn’t end up leaving until 10am. Our intention was to drive straight through to Great Falls, Montana, a distance of 655 miles, where we would be staying at the house of  Terry and Susan.

Once we got through the pass, the weather was bright and sunny. These pictures are from the Wild Horses monument just off the I-90 highway, one the ease side of the Columbia river.

Here are some pictures from Great Falls taken the following day:
