Glacier National Park
July 2010

We had a wonderful time in Glacier spent two days and found so many waterfalls in the park absolutely beautiful. Did a ranger lead hike to St Marys Falls and they were spectacular. There was still quite a bit of snow at Logan Pass. In the afternoon there were some pretty heavy storms with hail and lightning which made the park all the more spectacular.

Pintler Scenic Route & Skalaho Pass

We drove about 200 miles today and saw some beautiful areas. We drove Montana 1 aka Pintler Scenic Rt, first stop was Phillipsburg such a charming historic town had lunch at the local soda shop and then of course no trip would have been complete without a stop a the Sweet Shop, its a two story candy store with lots of the retro type of candy we grew up with lots of fun. Next stop was Georgtown Lake, then on to the Bitter Root National Forest and the Skalkaho Pass Rd just after the summit of about 7300 ft we came upon this beautiful waterfall. The scenery today was really spectacular.

Next week its onto Glacier National Park

National Bison Range
Moiese, MT
Today with the sun shining we headed out to Flathead Lake and found the National Bison Range on the way. The park is a 19 mile one way loop drive on gravel road that takes about 2 hours to complete. This was a fantastic park while the wild life was minimal for the time we were there the scenery was spectacular. We were not disappointed. My prize picture is the Big Horn Sheep we found. Finally made it to Flathead Lake and got side tracked again with a local brewery. Great beer and good local food. John had buffalo chili and I had an elk brats. Great day with plenty of sunshine. Oh yes, our original intent was the lake it is a big lake, more on that another day....
