Day 46 – Glacier Nat’l Park MT

Today was a bit slower but pleasant. We left the RV at 10 and headed to McDonald Lake Lodge to try and catch the 11am boat trip. It was a rather uneventful hour trip on the lake, but we did see a bald eagle. We had lunch in the lodge’s dining room which was a pretty place, and the food was decent.

We drove on down the road to see if we could find a parking place at the Trail of Cedars boardwalk. This is a neat walk through cedars and hemlocks, so quiet and peaceful. A bridge crossed Avalanche Gorge. The stream through this walk is so clear, as are most of the streams in the park. I can see why the parking area is always full. We stopped at a couple of pullouts on the way home.

The big treat for today was the little huckleberry stand halfway to the park from the RV park. When we passed it yesterday, I couldn’t believe a sign that said “Fresh Morel Mushrooms”. So we stopped on our way to the park, and sure enough, the guy had buckets of morel mushrooms. It is the season for them here in Montana. So we got a half pound on our way home tonight. I cooked them up, and they were delicious. I could have eaten a whole pound all by myself. We may have to do that again before we leave here.
