Glacier National Park

 We said goodbye to our friends as we headed north to Glacier National Park and they headed south to the Grand Tetons. It was so wonderful to camp with them the past few weeks. We took some time at a local laundromat to both wash clothes and take showers. After a week at Yellowstone I was very ready to clean up. We also found a yummy food truck area where we got delicious bbq and tasty huckleberry scones. After we were clean and fed we drove the 6 hours up to Two Medicine Campground at Glacier NP. 

I will never take for granted the ability to do laundry again.

Cozy rest time in the basket 

Our first morning in Glacier we woke up to a female mountain goat in our campsite! We drove up the Going-to-the-Sun-Road for beautiful views and hiked the Three Falls Trail to Barring Falls. On our way back Dave and the big kids jumped into the lake. It was COLD, but bright and refreshing! Liam and I stayed on the path building rock houses. We also hiked the Trail of Cedars which was a shady hike on the boardwalks through the forest. We had a short, but memorable time at Glacier NP. Dave said this was his favorite park so far and can’t wait to come back!

Morning view and quiet time of Pray Lake near our campsite 

Moss on tree branches…all the beautiful wildflowers and trees made me think of my mom!
