Across Canada and back: On to Glacier National Park

Float fishing on the Yellowstone River - Montana (no, that's not us!)

On the road again. Montana also goes on forever...

It's so good to be back in the mountains! Leaving Yellowstone through the North gate, we spent most of yesterday driving through southwestern Montana, with a stop overnight at Fairmont Hot Springs. It has been VERY hot up here, so we were glad to dip into the hot springs pools for a bit.
This morning, we were on the road again for the rest of the trip north through Montana to Glacier National Park. After many miles of big-sky nothingness, it was a joy to see the promise of mountains in the blue misty distance.

...but here's the reward! Lake St. Mary with Glacier mountains in the background

View from St. Mary River, near our campground

We arrived in St. Mary, at the east gate of Glacier, in time for a quick drive as far as they will allow our RV (we're over 21', so can't traverse the Going To The Sun Road, sadly). The end of the road for us coincided with a lovely late afternoon boat tour of Lake St. Mary, with spectacular views of lake, mountains and glaciers.
Our campsite tonight is in a little valley with views of the mountains, and it has at last cooled down enough that we don't need to sleep in the air conditioning. Looking forward to spending the day tomorrow (Monday) driving around as much of Glacier as we can. Simply stupendous beauty, some of God's finest handiwork!
