Up through Montana

We arrived in Whitefish, Montana in time to visit the Art Festival in the park there. We didn't want to wait around for 5 hours for the fireworks on the lake, so we drove on and found a place to camp in the forest.
The next morning we found a nice waterfall--Martin Falls.






The forest had many of these trees, which I hadn't seen in Utah. Haven't identified it yet. Thinking it may be some kind of cedar.

There was much "bear moss" on the trees. It is a combination of algae and lichens (or something like that) and will not survive in polluted air.
