<p>With the warmth of spring the Bitterroot Valley begins to awaken to the sights and sounds of running creeks and streams, lush  green hills, open fields, sound of many birds and witnessing all the spring time activities that Mother Nature offers.  Bring your camera, to capture the image of nesting osprey, moose along the river, beautiful wild flowers such as bear grass or the bitterroot plant on the mountain trails or seeing new life both domestic and wild is always a thrill.</p>
<p>While visiting the Bitterroot Valley you are invited to stay at BIG SKY BED AND BREAKFAST in Hamilton, MT.</p>
