We left Bonner’s Ferry somewhat early (8:30) because we knew it would be a long day.
Out of Bonner’s Ferry, we took Route 2 towards Glacier National Park. Along the way, we stopped at Kootenai Falls. It was one of those Montana raging rivers that you could have easily just passed by. We ended up spending over an hour just walking around the woods and the river in AWE!
Eventually, we ended up back on Route 2 and continued toward Glacier.
We finally got to Glacier National Park around 2:30 pm. We realized we crossed a time line, so we lost an hour. Glacier National Park is an amazing example of the wonders that exist in this country that Mother Nature has provided us. Amazing, stunning, and so alive.
We left Glacier around 5 and headed south to Missoula Mountain via Route 35 past Flathead Lake and all the cherry stands. (This is prime cherry season). The lake was HUGE. It felt like being next to an ocean. Sometimes you’re at the level of the lake, sometimes you’re looking down from 500 feet up. Beautiful ride!
Route 35 connected us to Route 93 and then to Route 90 into Missoula.
The Millers welcomed us with open arms. It was really nice to see some familiar faces. Shawna, Tucker, their daughter, Andrea and her boyfriend, Mike. We were happy to see Kira here when we got here, and Keith when he arrived on a later flight.
It was a late night, but a good one.
