| West Glacier National Park, Montana |
|
When we arrived at West Glacier, Montana, we checked into the Glacier Campground, about a mile south of West Glacier, the entrance to Glacier National Park. |
|
| The campground was the best we have encountered to date, with wide wooded spaces and a lot of privacy. |  |
 |
| One of our first pent up urges after checking in at the campground was to hunt rocks. The Middle Fork of the Flathead River flows through West Glacier and was close and accessible from the campground. We bagged some interesting rocks and cooled off in the crystal clear water. Raft trips were concluding at our rock collecting site, and we made arrangements for a white water raft trip with one of the guides. |

The next day we headed up into the mountains of Glacier National Park on the Road to the Sun. They call Montana "Big Sky Country", and it lived up to its billing on our excursion. |

| On the Road to the Sun within the park, we saw many water falls at the base of snow packs on the face of the mountains |  |

| We took a hike on a steep trail along a creek to Baring Falls. |  |

|
| The eight year old had to feel just how cold snow melt water really is. |  |
 |
It was a refreshing walk along the creek to get to Banning Falls. Our efforts on the trail paid off when we arrived at the falls. |

|
| The next day was white water day, and we eagerly awaited the launching. The four year old took her place in a rubber raft, and the eight year old paddled a single man blow-up boat/ |

| Late that afternoon we took a pleasant walk down a bike path along the river. |  |

Near the RV, Paul found a fire road during an evening run that was covered with wild flowers. We took a walk along the road before we headed west toward Idaho. |
