I spent most of the day in Glacier National Park, and decided to stop a little early (1615) since I had seen many people in the area today. I felt lodging might be an issue near the park, and prices would have been higher had I driven another hour to the north. This is a nice motel, with a friendly owner, and is off the main highway, Route 2.
After a typical start of the day, with beautiful skies and mild morning temperatures, I drove west on Route 2. The scenery began to change, with more hills and off the the north and south, and as I progressed westward, the Rocky Mountains majestically coming into view.
Cows, clear water, talking with Mike from north of Chicago, another great day!
Tomorrow I will be in Alberta, Canada. Hopefully, I will be able to upload my report. Thank you for visiting....
