View from our Glacier NP campsite - Lake McDonald
A slight change in plans from what I documented in my last post. We decided to be a little more ambitious and decided on Glacier National Park and Yellowstone instead of Badlands. We are three days into the trip and this is the first opportunity I got to post. I am not going to into much detail because it is early morning and we have to hit the road again soon. It has been a mostly good trip so far with a few bad–even scary moments– sprinkled in. The good has been the weather, the hikes and, of course, the scenery. The bad has been the weather–two major hail storms while driving in which the steering wheel of the rental car still shows signs of indentations from the death grip I had on it while trying to navigate through the mess. Also, on the bad list is that some of the trails on the east side of the park were only partially open. Then on my very bad list is the Bear Spray Incident…I will describe this in another post…when I gather enough courage to document in the a manner it deserves.
I am hoping I have more time tonight to share more stories and photos from the trip. We plan to tour Bozeman, MT this morning, take a ride on the Beartooth Highway the rest of the day and then find a hotel near Yellowstone NP this evening. We have two nights of camping in Yellowstone planned before we head back.
