Fall On the Bitterroot RiverThe Bitterroot Valley’s borders in Western Montana are defined by the Bitterroot River’s drainage system — from the gentle-looking peaks of the Sapphire Mountains to the east and the rough rocky peaks of the Bitterroot Mountains to the west. In between is a valley comprised of six small towns, small farmsteads and ranches, and a world-famous river.
The Bitterroot River begins at the confluence of its East and West Forks south of Darby. From there the river meanders through incredible timbered river bottoms and farmlands and by each town in the valley nearly 90 miles to its confluence with the Clark Fork River near Missoula.
Wetlands dot the entire valley along the Bitterroot River. The river bottoms on both the east and west side of the valley are also home to deer, elk, bear, moose, and a variety of other critters.
