I am planning a butterfly photography trip to Montana and Washington in July.
This will be my frst trip to this area. I was wondering if anyone could
help me with some locations. I am particularly interested in photographing
high mountain species. In Montana I will be in the Gallatin and Custer
National Forest area the first week of July and in the Glacier National Park
area the second week. In Washington I plan on being in the North Cascades
the third week of July. Since this does not give me a lot of time at each
place, I would rather not spend all of my time driving around wondering where
to go. It would help me if I knew what roads or passes to take that would
put me in alpine or sub-alpine regions without having to walk more than a
couple of hours to get to good butterfly spots.
I am going to be looking for the following species:
Pyrgus centaureae
Carterocephalus palaemon
Parnassius clodius and phoebus
Papilio indra
Colias, meadii, nastes, gigantea, pelidne, and interior
Boloria eunomia, frigga, freija, alberta, astarte, chariclea
Chlosyne whitneyi
Erebia vidleri, magdalena, discoidalis, theano, and callias
Oeneis chryxus, uhleri, bore, jutta, and melissa
Any information at all would be helpful. Thanks
