Glacier state of mind

On the way to Glacier NP we drove mainly on hwy 20, discovering the joys of the open road. We found a distillery that let us park for the night in Loon Lake before heading out to find the park.  As seen below, the local bird life has an impressive way of greeting visiting vans.

We found Glacier NP, settled into a campground just outside the park boundaries and continued learning about the van.  This has been a great way to figure out how things work.

Today we woke up early to get the free shuttle up to Logan Pass & the high trails.  It’s truly amazing how many people are in this park!  The campgrounds are full and the shuttles were packed.  So different than our previous trips here with our kids.  The people come from everywhere & are interesting and we’ve had some fun conversations.

Photos below are from the staging area for the shuttle and some photos of the high 

Tomorrow our goal is to scout out both reasonable temperatures & air quality as we head west.  Have van, will travel.
