The Parks


Our coach soon headed towards the first of several National Parks we visited on this trip. Our first day on the road took us back into the United States to Glacier National Park in Montana. The prairie was a sight to behold for me and I was impressed with the miles and miles of grain. I was also impressed with the miles of windmills we saw heading back toward the US.

We stayed at the Many Glacier Hotel which I found unique among all the places we stayed on this trip. The scenery here was spectacular; both inside and outside the hotel. It felt good to relax around an open fire in the lobby. This hotel was built around 1915 and remains much the same today. I found the lobby to be a very unique place.


A walk around the lake was wonderful, and around sunset, a very beautiful place. One thing we learned quickly on this trip was that this part of the country is prime territory for Grizzly Bears. We never saw any on this trip but it's always a thing to keep on your mind.

Here's another view of the lodge:
