Crazy Mountains

A major fire burning in the Crazy Mountains north of Livingston was started by lightning on July 17th and has burned nearly 15,000 acres. Hot, dry weather with a Red Flag Warning does not bode well for this and several other Montana fires.

Lots of snow is headed for our higher elevations this week. Very cold temperatures will affect just about all of Montana and Winter Storm Watches are in effect for several counties.

Lots of fresh snow and gusty winds will continue through Monday morning with up to 18" of snow accumulating at high elevations.

Yup. The high elevations of the Crazies and the Absaroka/Beartooth Mountains could get a foot of snow by Wednesday night.

The Crazy Mountain Neighbors Coalition has started a petition to protect the Crazy Mountains from commercial wind exploration.

The body of a 39-year-old hiker, who was reported missing in the Crazy Mountains, was found on Wednesday.

The Blacktail Fire in the Crazy Mountains has grown substantially since it started burning on Sunday.
