August 1/ 2 GNP

Leaving Missoula we selected our route to take us through some of the prettiest country side yet of Montana.  This really feeds the soul and the urge for throwing out the anchor in MT. Up MT 83 we went through areas like Seeley Lake, Swan Lake and Condon.  All beautiful places - it would be hard to pick one!

We rolled into Glacier Campground and set things up for a four night stay.

On the 2nd August we scoped out the Glacier Outdoor Center.  We got the particulars on what we needed to bring for the day of instruction and fishing.

Tammy and I have been really excited for this day to come.  To learn from a live body and pick up some pointers are wetting our appetites for more focus on fly fishing.

We did travel up to Logan Pass on the "Going to the Sun Road"  a true marvel of engineering and bravery when it comes to making a road!  The Pass was crowded and we took a short hike to the Hidden Lake Overlook with about 1000 of of our closest National Park friends.  Saw some Mountain Goats along the way.

But the most amazing thing about this short hike was the feeling that you were in the heart beat of the park.  Being up so high, at the top of the park, seeing the small trickles of waters from the receding snow melt of 2016 and knowing that this will feed into the Columbia River System is a thought that is sometimes hard to get your head around.  We were standing at the beginning of something so perfect!

Time for some fun on the Going To the Sun Road.

Tammy caught this little guy looking back to make sure we were not following him to his favorite grazing spot.
