Onward to Glacier National Park

We finally got on the road about noon for the short (80 mile) drive north along Flathead Lake We arrived in West Glacier about 2:00. We are in a very nice, wooded campsite at San-Suz-Ed RV Park, totally fitting for this gorgeous treasure called Glacier National Park.

After getting settled and enjoying a lunch of Stacy's homemade chicken salad, we set out to explore the area and get ready for tomorrow's exploration of the park (sans 5th wheel, of course), including the breathtaking drive up the legendary Going to the Sun Road. The park ranger told us it gets pretty crowded up there, and advised us to get an early start. The alarm is set for 5:30.

What we found within 5 miles of home was truly spectacular:

View across McDonald Lake
Uncrowded
Fish Creek
This rustic little motel on the lake was right out of an old 1950s movie.
