Drive through Macdonald Pass.
MacDonald Pass (el. 1920 m./6299 ft.) is a high mountain pass in the Rocky Mountains in Montana.
It is traversed by U.S. Route 12.
Continue to Missoula.
The Indian scare of 1877 led to the construction of Fort Missoula southwest of Missoula, which became a source of economic stability for the town between the end of the placer mining era and the coming of the railroad. The Bonner, Hammond and Eddy Company (later the Missoula Mercantile) established in 1866, began to dominate the wholesale and retail trade of the region by the 1880’s and made Missoula the largest trade center within a 75-mile radius.
The construction of the Northern Pacific Railroad through Missoula in 1883, converted it from a town of 300 to a city of 12,000 in 1920, with an economy based on trade, timber, and agriculture.
