Wife and I had our 23rd anniversary back at the beginning of June. We decided to take a trip to Glacier National Park. We only got into the park for one day do to needing a vehicle pass that you needed to purchase a day in advance. Really wouldn't have made much difference as most of the Park was only accessible to hiking or biking do to a 40' deep drift the park service was working on to remove from the roadway. Going to the sun road was closed at Avalanche trail so we made the hike to the lake. I forgot I'm old, out of shape, and have flatland smoker lungs lol. Made the 2 mile hike and seen sights that will be in my heart and memories forever.
We spent most of our week driving and sight seeing. Went on a suspension bridge over the Kootenai River. After that we Drove over into Idaho just so the wife could knock another state off her list. Drove up the backside of the park and almost to the Canadian border. Hit a few mountain lakes, a few local eateries, and seen some pretty cool wildlife along the way. Spent a day and Drove all the way down to Darby/Hamilton area where I was 27 years ago for guide school and showed the wife some of my hangouts. Lake Como has changed so much I didn't recognize most of the surrounding area. We use to see elk almost every trip up but the wife and I seen absolutely none the entire trip. We did manage to see whitetail, mule deer, black bear with cubs, and a moose.
We will be going back at some point and try a different time of year so we can actually see the entire Park. I'll post some of my pics to share the beauty of this great country and as a reminder to slow down and enjoy life.
