Flathead Lake, MN |
Left the Eagle Nest RV Park about 9:45 and stopped at
Safeway in Polson for groceries and water then hit MT 35 along the Eastern
Shore of Flathead Lake. This path
bypassed the busier towns on the western shore and offered beautiful scenery at
a more sedate pace.
We pulled into the Town of West Glacier, MT at about 1pm and
stopped at the restaurant there for lunch where we had the daily special of
turkey on rye with a cup of corn chowder (excellent & spicy). Of course, we
had to follow it up with Huckleberry Pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to
cut the heat a bit.
Continuing into Glacier, NP, we were disappointed to
discover that we could only drive part way up “Going to the Sun Road” due to
remaining 90’ snowdrifts near the summit.
We did however, find “The Trail of Big Cedars” that followed a creek
about ½ mile up the mountain and then crossed over and returned. Lots of really beautiful trees, waterfalls
and rock formations.
Since we couldn’t cross Glacier as originally planner, we headed
back out of the park to the North American RV Park where we joined 3 other
campers in a 100+ space park – lots of solitude among the cottonwoods.
