Description
We found the people of Montana to be very welcoming and engaging. As we traveled from one photo opportunity to the next, we were sure to meet someone who would give us a tip for a little know but picturesque area. The Tom Miner Basin was one such tip. It is located in the Custer Gallatin National Forest just north of Yellowstone Park and was identified only by a small Forest Service Sign along US 89A going toward Gardiner, Montana. The person who told us about this place declared that they had seen a number of female grizzly bears and their cubs foraging for caraway root, which an invasive species that bears just love. We didn't see any bears, but as we sat in our car eating our picnic supper, we had the good fortune to experience an intense high-based thunderstorm. As it retreated to the east, it revealing a bright setting sun, which illuminated the wet rangeland and the underside of the storm clouds in a unique and memorable way.
