Under the word "Montana",on a blue field, is the state seal. The seal shows some of Montana's beautiful scenery and tells what people were doing in pioneer times. The pick, shovel and plow represent mining and farming. In the background a sun rises over mountains, forests and the Great Falls of the Missouri river. A ribbon contains the state motto "Gold and Silver". Flag adopted 1905 amended 1981.

Trip Report

This was my first trip to Montana.  The first 2/3'rds of the trip were spent in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming with the race being sandwiched in between National Park visits.

Up next: Iowa
