It is only about a four and a half hour drive from my front door to the west entrance of Glacial National Park, and you can bet your tuchas I will be going again. Though we didn't see any of the amazing wildlife in the park, (seriously, not even a deer), we did see craggy peaks jetting out of crystal clear glacial lakes. We also saw the foliage beginning to turn, and drove on moonlit roads through silent forests. This is a beautiful place! The only drawback to our trip was the weather. It rained most of the time we were there, and we were very happy that we had decided on getting a hotel room. What with the rain, and the bear scare, we didn't do too much hiking. We went on one tiny hike to a beautiful waterfall only about 1/4 mile off the road, and I was nervous the whole time. Grizzlies. Sheesh.

ReplyDeleteBut Tenor and I will want a hotel room too!
Remember how he didn't want to stay at this one campground because it looked like the one in a dream he'd had where he woke up and a bear was licking his face.
The next week a woman was mauled in THAT CAMPGROUND. So I listen to Tenor and his intuitions.
