Rugged beauty and an abundance of wildlife surround this small settlement at the valley?s south end. Big horn sheep crossing the highway is a frequent occurrence here and elk can be observed during winter and spring in the foothills of both mountain ranges. The East Fork of the Bitterroot River flows past Sula and is famous for some of the best trout fishing anywhere. This area is truly a recreational paradise. History: The Sula (Ross Hole) area is best known for being the place where the Lewis and Clark expedition met the Shoshone Indians. The famous Charles Russell painting which hangs in the Montana State Capitol building was painted to capture a view from the Jake Wetzsteon pioneer home at Sula. The small area was named for the first white child (Ursula) born in the Ross Hole country.
