On Saturday September 6, on our drive home from our hike to Star Peak, Patti and I drove on MT Hwy 56 past the Ross Creek Cedars scenic area. Patti had visited the area before but I hadn't. We went in and walked around for a half mile or so on their scenic loop. We were a bit tired from the Star Peak hike and still had a distance to drive back to Kalispell. We wanted to get back to Kalispell before dark. The deer at night are bad on this stretch of Hwy 2. Tammy and I hit a deer last year when we drove this road.
When we had returned from Star Peak lookout the temperature was 81 F. In the Cedars the temperature was in the mid 60s. Cool and damp. Good for growing big trees. Once we left the Cedars area the temperature warmed up.

I was just there this summer. It was lightly raining and no sun so created an interesting environment.
