Foundation raising money for Montana land purchase

The hallmark of the stream-carved valley sits hidden in its steep bottom, the creek hitting the edge and dropping a few stories into the pool below. On a recent day, area ranchers Dan and Wyatt Barrett stood on the edge of the canyon, listening to the dull thunder of the falls and looking up the valley jutting north from the Dearborn River.

Under a deal recently reached, and pending fundraising, the property could become the newest piece of the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest and open up access to about 26,000 acres of public land.
