There were other state nicknames mixed in over the years, but Big Sky Country and the Treasure State must be the most popular because they are the only two I've ever heard used.
And what, you ask, does this have to do with Sunday Stills or Fall Folliage? Well I'll tell you.
Montana's reserves of precious metal may not be what they were in their heyday, but in the fall the Treasure State produces showers of shining glimmering gold.

Oh WOW! Great shots of the eagle!! I've been to the Yellowstone once and the Little Bighorn battlefield site, it was one cool stop..:-)
Great shots..
The pics of the eagle are amazing. How lucky you are to be in such an amazing state!
Very nice Sarah. The foliage shots are good but that eagle is great.
I was just there at the Northeast end of Yellowstone pass Lamar Valley the beginning of October. It is so beautiful up there.
I would love to go back and spend more time and enjoy your Treasure State.
Some beautiful scenery you captured in Montana..I love the Golden hues..great Eagle shot too:)
Great photos, Sarah! Even though I am a prairie person, Montana's mountains are always beautiful! I don't think I will ever cease being homesick for Montana. (Even though I am just over the ND border from HOME)
I'm back! :-) YAY! Love your pics as always. Loved seeing you yesterday and I already miss you! And... can you send me the Sunday Stills link? I have to redo all my "favorite" on my computer! XOXO!
Great pic of the Crazies. I miss them.
