The views from the road just got better and better.
We stopped in Browning on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation to see the Museum of the Plains Indian but were disappointed to learn it doesn't open for the season until June
Then on to Two Medicine past East Glacier Park. We encountered only a few people snowshoeing on this side of the park. We saw as many mountain goats as people
The lake at Two Medicine was stunning.
Then back to hwy 2 and West Glacier. We could drive the Going to the Sun Road only 13 miles into the Park as Logan Pass was still buried in many feet of snow. But the road was beautiful anyway
And Lake McDonald was crystal clear
We encountered deer at the Lake McDonald Lodge, still not open for the season
Poppy loved seeing both the goats and the deer; she sat up looking out the window the entire drive
And finally on to Bigfork on Flathead Lake, reportedly the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi
Bigfork is billed as an "artist community", and it is pleasant but both John and I were a bit disappointed. Real estate offices outnumber galleries here and the "art" is largely average.
We were planning on camping here, but all three campgrounds we checked out were just off the highway and very noisy. So instead we are at the Mountain Lake Lodge overlooking Flathead Lake. Lovely
