Bowman Lake, Glacier National Park, Montana. August 20, 2021 |
This is Ray's favorite photo. For Christmas this year I got him a large canvas print of it.
We spent about four days in beautiful Glacier National Park, hopscotching across the enormous park, staying in different hotels because that's what was available and also because it's so big. Staying in some of the nation's National Park hotels is like time traveling... you truly go back to the decor and styling of bygone eras.
Our 8th National Park was a terrific adventure. Highlights included seeing Jackson Glacier, our stay at the Swiss-Alps-esque Many Glacier Hotel and our balcony overlooking Grinnell Peak, off-roading to Bowman Lake after a swing through the Polebridge Mercantile for bear claws and all things huckleberry. And we saw a grizzly bear.
Pristine forests, alpine meadows, rugged mountains, and spectacular lakes, all along the craggy switchbacks up and over the Continental Divide from the Going-to-the-Sun Road.
We always feel fortunate to get to see these incredible landscapes.
Interesting thing about Glacier National Park, it's not the best National Park in the U.S. to actually see a glacier, but they are there. Funny.
