Flathead Lake, Montana and Glacier National Park

We are staying in Lakeside Montana until after the 4th of July. We have a nice park across from the lake. Fireworks are planned for the 4th.

Lots of Osprey nests and fields of mustard. Spectacular scenery.



Glacier National Park is breathtaking! We were here in 1974 when we moved from Boston. We traveled in a Pinto station wagon then because of the gas crisis. Remember that?

We stopped at many of the overlook areas.  One was along McDonald Lake and I was able to capture the reflection of the mountains in the image of the lake. See below.

Weather right now is fantastic. At lake level 85 but up at Glacier it was around 70 and perfect for sightseeing. We did the drive to the "Road to the Sun".  Waterfalls and glaciers at every turn.

We saw wild horses and big horn sheep.


We have only been here a few days.  I am sure we will enjoy our stay at Glacier National Park!
