May 25 – Heading to West Glacier it was an easy drive arriving at the campground around 11 am. It came highly recommended. Small trees in an open field. Maybe it is great for the large motorhomes but we would be in a deep woods. The hot showers were apricated. It’s the only location where we made reservations in advance made weeks prior. It was costly and with lots of facilities. It was highly manicured and not our try of place. For example, it looks as though sod had been place on the ground to create a “beautiful” lawn the day prior. After we got set up an employee came along and was spraying the odd dandelions. Not our type of place. Well it’s the beginning of the long holiday weekend and there were not many other options so we stayed.
Next we headed into the park. On the west side of Glacier National Park Going to the Sun Road is open 14 miles. We went in the full distance and went on a beautiful hike to Avalanche Louake, just over a 4 mile round trip hike. It was outstanding but sunny so I was not thrilled with the bright sunshine for my photography.
