West Glacier, Montana

On our way to West Glacier, we stopped off at the East Glacier National Park Entrance.  There was yet another amazing waterfall I wanted to see near Two Medicine, MT.  So we parked YOLO near the train station and off we went.  A 9 mile drive and a very short walk later, you find yourself at Eagle Falls.  Just lovely! 

Then it was off to West Glacier where we stayed at KOA for four days.  It was a lovely campground situated at the base of the mountains and we really enjoyed our stay there.  We went to West Glacier and walked around town a little then drove to Lake McDonald Lodge to check it out.  Lake McDonald is the largest lake in the park at almost 10 miles long and the road to the lodge hugs the lake so it’s a beautiful drive.  The lodge is very "Swiss Alp" like and would be an interesting place to spend a night.  We took lunch and had a picnic beside the river on our way back.

Glacier National Park has been our favorite park so far.  The scenery is just amazing, although I am starting to miss civilization and looking forward to our next destination – Seattle, Washington.  We will overnight at Polson, Montana and Coeur D’Alene, Idaho on our way to Seattle.  Hopefully, the fires that are burning in Montana will not be an issue for us as we travel I-90 westbound.
