Small steam vents surround the area.
From Artist Point I viewed the
109-foot-high Upper Falls and the
308-foot Lower Falls, almost twice as
high as Niagara Falls. The water
appears lime green at the top; the sur-
rounding canyons are streaked with
yellow, red, white and pink. Osprey
flew overhead; mule deer are often
seen in this canyon.
The final fantastic sight was
Minerva Terrace, of squared travertine
formations. At varied levels, where
aqua water steamed over the edges, the
stone was white, green and orange.
We then boarded a train for the
455-mile ride.
We passed through Bozeman,
which boasts a synagogue, and
Helena. "Helena had a thriving
Jewish community during mining
times. There's an old Jewish cemetery
and Fleigleman's Department Store,"
said Bruce Barrett, Regional Director
of AIPAC based in Missoula. He
oversees Montana, Wyoming, Idaho,
Utah, North Dakota and South
Dakota. "The old synagogue had two
onion domes. However, when the
community dwindled, it was bought
by a Catholic church. They removed
the domes and put up a cross instead."
We wound through the region
Lewis and Clark explored, past the
headwaters of the Missouri River. The
scenery became more dramatic as we
headed into the Rockies, with cor-
morants and white pelicans flying
past.
After Helena, we crossed over the
98-foot-high Greenhorn Trestle. We
passed a spike marker sign designating
the joining of tracks from east and
west uniting the Northern Pacific
Railroad line in 1883.
We exited the train in Missoula.
The city has a good-sized Jewish com-
munity. "Missoula is a university town
and has a large medical center, so
there are many Jews here," said Dr.
Scott Green, a dentist who is president
of Congregation Har Shalom. "And
the number of Jewish residents is
growing. We had a Purim party last
year that drew 100 people."
The next day, the train wound
through beautiful high mountains of
the Cabinet and Bitterroot ranges
studded with evergreens, over the dra-
matic 225-foot-high Marent Trestle.
The ride ended in Sandpoint, in
the Idaho Panhandle where the motel
is situated on lovely Lake Pend
O'Reille. Next morning we motor-
coached to Spokane, Wash., where
most guests flew home. El
