Gorge on the Flat River
June 17
We are in Glacier Natl Park today & staying at Glacier RV Park which is outside the national park itself. It is a lovely campground & area. Our new friends in Ennis had recommended this park as they had stayed here during their RV days. It is still very lovely & wooded with large sites nicely separated by large trees. Today we took the Red Bus Tour of Glacier Natl Park & we got lots of history & information from our driver, Matt. I took some pictures but unfortunately never thought about getting a picture of the historic red bus that we were in. Guess you'll have to visit Glacier yourself someday to see them. They weather has made a nice turn around & we, as well as the locals, are hopeful that it will remain sunny & clear. Of course, all these great forests hope for rain every few weeks in order to cut down on the chance of forest fires which have been occurring much too frequently in our forests in recent years. This afternoon we rode our bikes into town & looked around a bit. A very productive stop was at the Alberta Visitors Center which is just outside the park. They are there to encourage visitors to come into Canada. Well, that is just where we are headed so we picked up lots of maps, tour guides & very good information. Tomorrow - onto Idaho! We won't see much of that state but we expect the northern panhandle to be very beautiful. I think I have Steve talked into going to Sandpoint, ID which is the home of Coldwater Creek! A must see, I do believe!
