Day 28 - Glacier NP and beyond

It is still quite smoky here, but we will not be deterred. Quick morning hike at the Many Glacier area then we are headed to Butte.

Swift current Creek

There is a dog in the back herding these cattle along the roadside inside the national park.  All the children started yelling "stampede!" as I watched in disbelief as the lady in the car in front of us got out of her car to take a photo.  Our photos aren't great, but we took them from -inside- the vehicle as the cattle ran past us.

This is Lewis and Clark territory -- and Blackfeet Nation.

Wheat fields and beehives.  

Fields and cattle.  

It is 94deg at 1p on the road from Glacier NP to Butte, MT.  We have had a few days, especially on the Alaska Highway, that were in the 70s, but for the most part, it has been hot - even in Fairbanks, AK and Glacier NP.  We expect the heat to continue as we head east and south.  We are very thankful that the AC refrigerant Ken put in the SUV back near Chicago has held up.


98deg at Wolf Creek, MT - "way up on the Great Divide, truckin' on down the other side" (C.W.McCall)

Montana Rocky Mountains.

We had a wonderful dinner with Dave and Millie Knight!  Sadly, we forgot to take a picture.  But we enjoyed a wonderful time of fellowship with them in Butte, MT.
