Fall in the Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge
BONNERS FERRY — As the stifling heat and oppressive smoke of summer gives way to cooler air, the fall colors of the Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge come into focus with a crisp clarity. Like the changing of an outfit, the refuge is renewed and transformed. Each season brings a new version and a new adventure waiting to be explored.
