We woke up in Missoula, Montana and thankfully, it had stopped raining. It was good to sleep on a bed and not in a tent. Missoula is actually a bit more interesting than we expected but there was no real time to explore. We needed to push forward to our ultimate destination, Glacier National Park.
The road to Glacier took us through Flathead Lake, a really beautiful lake surrounded by fruit trees. They are apparently known for their cherries so we pulled over to a roadside stand and picked some up for the road. Yum! They were delicious and Dan is now determined to grow a cherry tree at home... I'll get back to you on that!
We pulled into our campground in Glacier...and it's called Glacier Campground. Very creative, don't you think? It was heavily wooded and we had reserved a small cabin since this is bear country and we've already had our one mandatory bear experience. Basic but nice cabin. It's nice to just pull sleeping bags and clothes out. Once we set up, we headed into Glacier. We didn't get too far in. We hung out in Apgar Village and enjoyed the lake and the mountain views. Of course, Brenna had to run into the water and claims it's not too cold... we'll see.
We drove a little way into the park and saw beautiful waterfalls and thundering rivers. We were starving soon and headed to a restaurant close to the campground. Great BBQ and our new favorite fruit... huckleberry. We are eating ANYTHING that has huckleberry. If you're in the northwest area of the country, it's everywhere so try it!
Off to the cabin to rest up for our exploration tomorrow of Glacier.
