Glacier Day 1 - July 6th

I was so excited to go to Glacier National Park. I had never been and I could not wait! I had been told that it was the place to see bears, along with beautiful lakes and mountains. All three proved to be true for us on our trip. On the 6th we spent the majority of the day driving. That was long but it had to be done. Hannah was a champion driver. I was spoiled and got to be a passenger most of the trip. that was a nice change for me. We started our glacier excursion at a KOA in Whitefish, Montana. When we got to camp we set it up and then headed to the national park.

It was late by the time we got to the park so we just oriented ourselves with our available options, visited lake McDonald, and went for a little walk.

At lake mcdonald we needed to check out the famous colored rocks.

 They were very pretty

It was really hot and hazy so the mountains were not very clear in my pictured. That was a bummer. There are some amazing peaks that surround the lake.

We walked on the road just to get some exercise. It was beautiful.

 The famous tour buses were parked on the route we walked so we stopped to get a picture.

The sky showed off for us that evening on the way back to our campsite. We learned that Montana sunsets are amazing and that it stays light a lot later in Montana.

Back at camp we sat in the hot tub and then went to bed.
