We never thought the temperature in Glacier National Park would be so warm. After experiencing 27 degrees at Yellowstone's camp site, we knew we were not prepared for the expected "chill" in Glacier. Prior to leaving Great Fall, we stopped to buy some warm clothes from a second hand store. To our surprise, it was more than 50 degrees at our camp site at night. Steve saw the most beautiful moon-rise through the trees at the camp.
As a "must-do", Steve and I canoed and swam in Lake McDonald - the largest glacier lake in the park. The water was so clear you could see more than 10 feet deep. But it was cold.
We left the Glacier National Park after lunch, just as a huge (in LA standard) down-pour began. We were turning south to go home. Driving thru the National Forest is wonderful. We passed a state Bison range, though we didn't see any bison. We stopped at an historical town named Wallace. It was so-so.
It looks like a Hollywood set for a mining town western. We did like a couple of road signs in the center of the town.
Today is the first day we have had rain--figures, it is Spokane, Washington. Next stop, Mount Rainier National Park in the state of Washington.
