Missoula, Montana - Higgins Avenue bridge area on MontanaPictures.Net (Page three of six)

Picture of three metal trout next to the Higgins Street Bridge in Missoula.
       100905 Next to the  Higgins Avenue Bridge we spotted three trout "beached" on the river bank.
       Let's get closer for a better look...                 (Click on any of the pictures to see a close-up.)  
   
Picture of the Missoula trout sculpture by the Higgins Avenue Bridge.
       100905 We thought so...                                          
       Every Spring the Clark Fork River spills over it's banks leaving thousands of trout
       "beached" on the shore once the water recedes.  If you have the time, help push
       the stranded trout back into the river.   Let's get even closer to see what kind of trout they are.

       100905 Oh, that's a "Brown Trout."  :o)
       That's enough of fooling around.  We'll leave the trout sculpture and climb the stairs to Higgins Avenue.
 
Picture panorama of the Wilma Theater in Missoula.
      100905 Next time, we'll walk under the Higgins Avenue bridge to see the Missoula Carousel and Caras Park.
      There's the Wilma Theater,  a Missoula landmark since 1921.  Speaking of landmarks, 
      we'll walk north towards the six story white and tan "Art Moderne" building known as the "Florence Hotel."
 
       100905 We made it!   There's the "Florence Hotel" on the left.  The new "Macy's" was once known as the old Missoula Mercantile.  
       For an explosion of color and variety, continue up Higgins Avenue to the old Great Northern Train depot and visit the Saturday "Farmers Market."  
       That's another tour...  For now we'll return to the Clark Fork River and soak up the last of the warm summer like sunshine.
