Day 2 - West Glacier and Glacier National Park

Heart 2 Comment 0

Had a nice evening with.a Great Divide rider - Matt from German.  Nice lawer kid taking five weeks for his journey.  He rode in here after an eleven hour ride.  It wasn’t a plan, just turned out that way.  Anyway…nice kid, he shared his coffee stash with me.  

En route to Glacier for some cabin living …. Not a big ride, but the next views should be epic.  Two days there is the plan.

Columbia Falls

What a beautiful route farms and meadows and mountains to Columbia Falls.  Festivities going on running race, parade and firehouse breakfast - must stop. 

Met Mason 87 years young Air Force Vet / fireman / hiker. He was with his CREW -14 family members.  He stood out wearing his dark safary head with the AF logo.

He said see that mountain - I climbed it and got lost, didn't get out until after dark.

Nice meeting you all Mason and crew.

Connected to Route 2 for the final leg to Glacier Campground, West Glacier.  The route was a mix of road, sidewalk and paths.  One hazardous couple miles coming into Hungry Horse, but I got it done.  Made one wrong uphill turn to what I thought was my campground, but it was beautiful.
