This week, the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show comes to you from Triple Creek Ranch, an adults-only resort located in Montana’s Bitterroot Valley, near the Idaho border. It’s where the Nez Perce Indians and the U.S. Cavalry had a famous encounter, and where Lewis and Clark tried to find a pass to the Pacific Ocean. The Triple Creek Ranch is a guest ranch situated among the towering pines on the side of Trapper Peak, the highest mountain in Western Montana.
Guests this week include travel writer Stirling Kelso, who tells Peter why she loves that part of Montana; and Jake Bramante, who explains how he mapped the 734 miles of Glacier National Park (on his own, for the most part).
Click here to listen to the show, streaming live from 10 am until 1 pm ET on Saturday, April 18, 2015.
