Glacier National Park

We entered back into the states at Eureka, Montana.  It was a tight fit with the motor-home going through the X-Ray machine, but they let us back in.  We camped at Columbia Falls RV Park, about 15 miles outside the park.  There are lots of CG in the area, this is a nice one, with all the amenities at a good rate, and nice people.  Be sure you pick up some local Huckleberry pie, ice cream, and jam!  

Drowned Rats.....

It was a rainy two days of hiking.  We didn't stop though.  We've been dieting (forever!) and we weigh ourselves each morning, we've confirmed that we loose weight after a day of hiking!  So if I want Huckleberry pie, then I have to hike!

Again, lots of rain means lots of white water and spectacular falls.  There is a road through the middle of the park called "Going to the Sun Road", sounds neat doesn't it!  It's usually open by now, but this year they still have 10' of snow at the top, so we didn't get to go all the way through.  We circled around to the south and went in the East side to do some hiking, then the next day ran up the west side to get one last hike in before checkout time at the park. 

These guys were just along the trail, I'd just look up and they were right in front of me, and I never heard a twig break!

It was a good trip, we were just a little bit early this year.

I was disappointed with all the commercialization inside the park boundaries.  The Park visitors center is a little building surrounded by shopping, we drove right by it looking for park information, but I guess it's all about money for the park.

It's just a pet peeve of mine, why do I have to pay for something when it's full of advertising?  I'm just getting too old and crotchety.......
