We arrived to the Mountain Meadows campground Sunday and stayed one week.  The area has been in a severe drought since June and the whole area was smokey with mostly obscured views.  We did get some pics of the big horn sheep at Logan's Pass on the Going to the Sun Road in the park. 
We made a rafting trip down the middle fork of the flathead river in an inflatable kayak and even tho the river was low andthe rapids were mild (class II) it was a challange because the winds were gusting that day to 50 kts.  even the seasoned raft guides had problems with the winds.  Several times we all had to pull over to the bank to wait for the winds to subside.
