Our First Day in Glacier National Park

Well, we're no longer in Glacier National Park, which is why I'm finally able to tell you about it. We are in Bozeman, Montana tonight, and this is the first time I've been able to roam freely about the internet in days.

Anyway, we had an absolutely wonderful time at Glacier National Park. The Mountain Pines Motel was just perfect for us...very relaxing and peaceful. And there was a great little restaurant just a few blocks away. If any of you are ever in East Glacier, Montana, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend both the Mountain Pines Motel and Luna's Restaurant.

Enough talk. How about some pictures?

This was the view as we approached East Glacier, Montana


This was our home during our stay in East Glacier

The aspen were glorious

This was the beginning of a trail to another waterfall


The clouds that day were very unusual


And this is what those clouds looked like at sunset


We're heading for West Yellowstone, Montana tomorrow, where we'll stay for a few days while we tour Yellowstone National Park. Hopefully, we'll have internet service so that the travelogue can continue.

  3. You KNOW how I love sky pictures, so I LOVE those last two, but as usual they're all great.

    I'm glad you're doing such a great job of documenting your trip -- so that when Hubby and I finally get around to a western trip, we can just follow your itinerary!

  5. Sandra-Those clouds were unlike any we'd ever seen, and we watched them all afternoon and into the evening. They remained weird the whole time. I hope you and Hubby ARE able to take a driving trip west sometime. You could borrow your sister's motorhome. :-)

    Hilary-Glacier IS a beautiful (and photogenic) place to visit. With your photographic eye, you'd love it.
