The place today: Near Great Falls, MT — Snow Creek (Highwood Creek) area
dew fell last night. We passed a large creek on the south
side, called Snow creek. The water of the river is very clear
and the current very rapid. We passed a number of islands
covered with timber; but there is none to be seen on the hills
on either side. We went 14 miles and encamped on the south
side.
