Our Trip Map

Friday, June 6, 2014

We are in "Big Sky" Montana, and that is no stretch of the truth! We could see for miles while we were cruising down Hwy 2. There are hardly any towns from Glasgow to Havre, but there sure are stretches of land that go on as far as the eye can see. We are staying at Evergreen Campground just four miles south of Havre. We really didn't have much excitement today other than some construction just before Havre that really prepared us for what kind of roads we may find in Canada and Alaska!   There are some very large Indian reservations here in Montana. There is a reservation called the Rocky Boy's just outside of Havre for the Chippewa-Cree Indians. We could see some pretty good sized hills in the area of the reservation called Bear Paw Mountains. We are anxious to see the bigger mountains at Glacier Park where we will be tomorrow. We heard on the news tonight that Road to the Sun through Glacier Park is still not open due to the heavy snow this winter and the cooler spring that has made it difficult to get the road open. Not sure if we'll get to go on the road; probably not. The report stated that it would probably not be open until June 20. Oh well, we'll still get to see the beauty of the mountains, and I'm sure we will find much to enjoy.  I'm not sure that we will get to post much on the blog for the next few days due to Wifi availability. We'll post again when we can. Have a good weekend!

Fence by a rest stop that I thought was neat.
We saw a lot of fences along Hwy 2, but this one caught my eye.

  4. Hi Harley - We were by there and it was beautiful, but we couldn't get in by the lodge because the gate was locked and it didn't look as if the lodge was open just yet. We did see those neat red buses you talked about in West Glacier, but since the Road to the Sun wasn't open the buses weren't going very far. It was great being there even though we couldn't take a cruise over the road.
