Subject: Pietenpol-List: Western MountainsHello group, When you fly out of Coeur d'Alene, ID, there are two routes that avoid the high elevations encountered crossing farther south. Following I-90 throughMissoula, Butte, Billings, etc. you will not have to go much higher than 6500-7000 feet. If you cut north to Kalispell and skirt Glacier Nat'l Park, youonly need to clear 5280 foot Marias Pass. Of course, this is the long way around, but who flying a Pietenpol is in a hurry, anyway? Some of North Dakotais beautiful from the air! I sure hope to be able to join a Pietenpol Air Tour in some not-too-distant year!
