Towards Glacier National Park (Day 9)

Again we crossed Idaho and headed north to Glacier National Park which is on the northwest side of the huge state of Montana. We entered the park from the west side.Many of the roads campsites up into the mountains are still closed but we were fortunate to find camping in one of two campsites.
We were warned right away (as anyone entering the park) that we are in Grizzly country and there are no guarantees about safety. Yikes! Whenever hiking we must make noise (especially when coming around corners or approaching a hidden area) and let any animals know that we are present. Bears will usually stay away unless surprised or threatened.
It's definitely worth the extra drive, what a beautiful place!
We might stay two nights but haven't decided for sure one way or the other.
