Glacier National Park - Day 1

September, 10, 2010
Today was a long day with little productivity. We are staying on the the west side of Glacier National Park but the park is pretty big and we have several routes on the East side, about a 90 minute drive. We decided to drive to the East side to try and get those routes out of the way but we soon realized today might be a bust. The weather said only a 10% change of showers but it rained ALL day in the park. The perimeter of the park was cloudy with some light sprinkles but once we drove a mile into the park it started down pouring. We did get one route done that went up to the Canadian boarder. That was interesting. This is the 2nd time I've collected this route and the boarder patrol have not gotten any better.

In the next couple of photos you can see the clouds just hanging over the park, but blue sky outside the park...no fair!On the drive back to the hotel we stopped at a huckleberry shop and I got a huckleberry milkshake, finally! I also got a slice of huckleberry pie but i haven't tried it yet...I'm sure it will be good.
