Day 53 – Glacier Nat’l Park MT

We had to ride the Going to the Sun Road again up to Logan Pass. It was cloudy today which made for some crappy photos, but it was still incredibly beautiful. We had packed a picnic lunch and ate it sitting on a wall just past Logan Pass. We had a beautiful waterfall behind us and a lovely mountain view in front. I found a new favorite wildflower, the beargrass. I got photos up close. They have a really neat fragrance. We headed back to Hungry Horse, stopping at a T-shirt shop. I got a neat one with a bear on the front made out of letters spelling Glacier Park. But Bill got the best one. It has some Indians on the front with Homeland Security above them. Below it says: Fighting Terrorists since 1492.

Tonight we went to Belton Chateau for dinner. It is the first of the chain of chalets built in 1910 by the Great Northern Railroad. We had a great dinner. I loved my Vegetable Wellington: puff pastry stuffed with tomato, mushrooms, and leek, topped with a roasted pepper cream sauce. After dinner we went to the Huckleberry Patch for some huckleberry pie a la mode. Now we are stuffed!

I posted a few more photos at the end of Glacier 2. Just click on the link to the left.
