Editing Ravalli County, Montana (section)

==Economy==
Agriculture and timber form the bulk of Ravalli County economic activity. [[Marcus Daly]], one of three [[Butte, Montana|Butte]] copper kings, funded logging operations in the Bitterroot Valley. The lumber was necessary for the Butte copper operation. Recently, more of Ravalli County's economy stems from tourism. The valley borders the [[Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness]] and offers a wide variety of wildlife, including some of the few remaining [[wolverine]] and [[wolf]] populations in the contiguous states. The [[Lost Trail Powder Mountain]] [[ski area]] is at [[Lost Trail Pass]] on the Idaho border on [[U.S. Route 93|US-93]].
