If you have time to loop around the downtown river walk in Missoula, Montana, you can get in two sets of stairs, which is a good thing to squeeze in!
Plus, if you take this route in the evening, you'll enjoy the soothing order of the linear shadows playing across the stairwell next to the Boone & Crockett Club.

Knapweed Pre-Bloom, Corvallis, Montana
It's amazing what you see if you walk around looking at the ground! This tactic prevents stepping in varied unpleasantries, and also gives you front-row views of miniature works of art. Case in point: spotted knapweed buds. Before its heathery purple flowers bloom, you can observe these creations of intricate lines and feathery plumes. Reminds me of a pineapple fruit, or a Faberge egg.

W is for Wilma, Missoula, MT
If Elmo were to visit Missoula, Montana, he might conclude that "W is for Wilma Theatre"!
The Wilma is a fully functioning historical downtown icon that sports retro signage and a tin ceiling in the front entry overhang.

Red Clover Morning, Missoula, Montana
Morning wake-up rambles in Missoula, Montana, often take me down a nearby back alley with a water feature. Even with fall fast encroaching, the red clover is still showing its colours - more purple than red, in this case - as are the reflected sunrise clouds.

X Marks the Spot, Missoula, Montana
Being a frontier type of town, Missoula, Montana, has a rich railroad history. The old restored train depot graces the top of downtown's main street, separating the business district from the active rail yard. If you cruise the drag on a weekend night, you'll inevitably loop around the red "Crossings" statue, created in 1986 by Arlee artist TaƤg Peterson.
