"This is how I remember Glacier ..."

Choteau to Glacier National Park. We spent the night in a small town park, with one other motorhome nearby.  It was quiet and safe, although not very pretty -- the park was next to a large grain elevator, and the trees that had once blocked the view had been cut down.  But we faced a row of trees on the other side, and the price of $8 was right.

In the morning we set of on our journey northwest to Glacier National Park.  This was part of the change in plans.  We had been to Glacier in '82 when we took our first cross-country National Park trip.  It rained the whole time.  We had debated whether we wanted to give Glacier another chance.

We passed more beautiful scenery and lots of construction, and sometimes a combination of both.






 




As we approached the eastern edge of the park the sky got blacker.  As we continued around the southern edge of the park, it started to rain.  Jim commented, "This is how I remember Glacier."
