Specifications
When the Lewis & Clark expedition reached the Three Forks of the Missouri
in July of 1805, Meriwether Lewis gave the three rivers there that form
the Missouri the names they still bear today; The Jefferson (after
the president), the Madison (after the vice president), and the Gallatin
(after Albert Gallatin, the secretary of Treasury).
The wild Gallatin River
is born in the north corner of Yellowstone National Park. Tumbling out of
the mountains south of Bozeman, it spills into the Gallatin Valley and becomes a
wonderful braided waterway, home for deer, moose, beaver, muskrats, ducks,
trout, and many other creatures (including fly fishermen).
