What is it about autumn in Missoula that makes it seem to go by so quickly? Maybe it was that week of summer heat after the first flash of cold weather. Or maybe beautiful things are simply never long for this world.

Of course, the Rose Garden isn't the only place cast in hues of gold, like in the beautiful views of Bonner Milltown, below. Now as the rains set in, we're reminded that all of Montana is in high Fall, and even though that means Winter is right around the corner, let's enjoy it while we can.
