This is the view looking south along Lake Koocanusa from Tiger Campment. One of David Thompson's men killed a cougar (mountain lion) very near here and it is the first recorded killing of one west of the Rocky Mountains. They ate it and thought it to be quite tasty. Thompson may not have known exactly what it was so he called it a "tiger", hence his name of the campment.
