The description of the huckleberry-peach pie at the Spruce Park Diner (in Draoulec's "American Pie" book) is what got me thinking of a Montana trip in the first place. This should be either Friday night dinner or Saturday breakfast.

Update: obsessive googling indicates the Spruce Park is CLOSED. Quelle dommage!!
