Stories and photos about life along the Continental Divide in Montana between the Clark Fork (westslope) and Big Hole (eastslope) Rivers.

Backpacking, cross country skiing, fishing, hunting, hiking... this is the story of a 4-season outdoors person.

About Me

EcoRover: Eco, from the Greek oikos: home, with a connotation of wholeness. Once upon a time I lived at the headwaters of the Allegheny River and roamed the hardwood forests. Now I roam the mountains, rivers, and prairies of the northern Rockies. Disclaimer: I am a professor with Montana Tech in Butte, but nothing posted on this site should be construed as an inference that I am speaking for the institution.
