Description:
The Bitterroot Mountains create the border of the Idaho Panhandle and western Montana. The mountains in the Bitterroot range are not as high in elevation as other Rocky Mountain ranges, but its serrated peaks are just as impressive. Lewis and Clark crossed these mountains through Lost Trail Pass in 1805 on their way back from the difficult Snake River.
