Located in the lower southwestern corner of Montana, Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge was established in the early 1930’s to help protect and restore the Trumpeter Swan population, at that time, a perilous 70 birds.
Join Owashtanong Islands Audubon Society and the Muskegon County Nature Club as Ken Cook shares some breathtaking photographs taken during his recent trip to this scenic but remote area of what some have called the most beautiful refuge in the country. The picturesque Centennial Mountains provide a striking backdrop for a landscape that presents a very diverse variety of birds, wildlife and vistas in a high meadow environment.
Only a couple hours’ drive from Yellowstone, it’s an area of the country not visited by many people.
