We left KOA West Yellowstone to our next stop in Missoula, Montana via a short bit of Idaho.
|
Along the way it was all cattle ranches.
|
Upon reaching Butte, we saw this big religious statue on top of the nearby mountain.
|
We stopped in Butte to get our lunch since I did not pack anything last night.
|
D opted for McD.
|
Kandak took over the wheel for the first time.
|
I-90 West was our route.
|
There was nothing much to see in this part of the country but hills stripped of trees for timber.
|
Trains hauling coal seem to be a regular feature here though.
|
We reached Missoula around 4pm.
|
D got us a tent village this time.
|
The boys pitched the tent in no time. We retired early because tomorrow we need to leave early for Glacier NP. It's supposed to be a 3-hour drive.
|
We left just after 6am. It was very hard to wake up in the cold.
|
There was a major road construction along the way which delayed us quite a bit.
|
How should I pronounce that name in the Flathead tribal language?
|
Flathead Lake which we passed by is the biggest lake in the western US .. some 27 miles long.
|
There was a small patch of rapeseed field.
|
It was a long drive, but yes, we were in the right direction.
|
People here just love to bike in the summer on their Harleys.
|
There were lots of companies offering tour services outside the entrance. We will just settle for a drive with NIK AI.
|
Alas, we reached West Glacier, the main entry point for Glacier National Park.
