Instead of 70 miles, the drive from Many Glacier (East Glacier) to Apgar (West Glacier) is a 120 miles. But with the trailer, we had no other option.
Instead of mountain views the topography changed to the Great Plains, formed from erosion and deposition of the nearby mountains which we just left, and are trying to return to.
Montana is so beautiful.
We explored our new campground, set up camp, and determined the schedule for the rest of our trip.
Time is going by way too fast. And there is so much to see! It is hard to believe that the majority of visitors spend just one day in the park.
Hammocks are so popular in campgrounds these days, with the introduction of ultralight hammocks for backpacking. We would have looked pretty uncool without them! Phew.
Box wine is a great invention too.
"Extra broccoli, please!," Eric exclaimed.
There are no showers at Apgar (you have to leave the park to shower) so after dinner Josh thought we should have a late night paddle/bath in Lake McDonald and we all agreed, the lake is just a five minute walk from our campsite.

Dang it! I already said that...
Montana is so beautiful. I loved this line, "Time is going by way too fast. And there is so much to see! It is hard to believe that the majority of visitors spend just one day in the park."
ReplyDeleteThe hammocks and box wine were great thoughts. Did you sleep in the hammocks or just chill out in them.
Was bathing in the lake freezing? Fun dang stuff.
