Garden is the work of a group of Tibetan Buddhist monks and a
large cohort of western Montanans who came together to build
this space for meditation and study. And yes, there are at least
one thousand statues of the Buddha on site.
If you're a birdwatcher, Lake County offers many venues. Nine-
pipes National Wildlife Refuge covers 2,000 acres and is mostly
open water. Pablo National Wildlife Refuge, a few miles north,
is over 2,500 acres in size. Kicking Horse Reservoir, near Ronan,
is 657 acres in size. All offer a variety of birds in season, and the
fishing ain't bad either.
West of US 93, the tribally run CSKT Bison Range (formerly the
National Bison Range), almost 19,000 acres in size, offers a two
hour (seventeen mile) self-guided tour up and over the moun-
tain at the center of the range. On your drive you may see bi-
son, deer, antelope, other mammals, a wide variety of birds and
countless wildflowers in season. A day pass costs $20, and an
annual pass (calendar year) is $60.
NOTE: If you plan to get off federal or Montana state highways
to recreate on tribal land (most of Lake County), you will need to
purchase a Tribal Recreation Permit which is valid from March 1st
to the end of February and currently costs $100 per year.
