I Live In Montana

Up late packing for a sudden weekend camping trip with our best friends. Two couples just getting together to fish and hang out on the lake. I can't wait!

The sudden switches between heat and snow have given us false hopes of some kind of spring, as usual, but this year is especially annoying. So it's going to probably be an entire weekend of cold and rain but at least we'll be together. I love our friends so much.

Meanwhile, I'll have to charge up our juice boxes so we can charge our phones on the fly since I plan on lots of pics. Might even bring along my tripod and record a bit of footage and make a nice relaxing video loop for youtube.

At the beginning of May I drove around Glacier national park from Waterton lakes thru Babb to Whitefish, and back into Canada. very beautiful country

@Orca4950: It is at that. Not enough people take their time through Waterton I think.

Sounds like fun. I am heading for the Smoky mountains for a week!

I was in Glacier Park last July. Here is a photo I took:

My first plan was actually to go to Yellowstone. I have been there twice before. I could not find a hotel I wanted for the price I wanted in Cody, and I live in MD so that would have been a long drive (but I have done it before). So my second option was Tennessee. Cheaper and much closer!

I usually fly out to visit the Rockies but procrastinated on making plans so I would have had to drive. Flights are too expensive. Also, it is a holiday.

@JoyfulSilence: You might want to check out Amtrack packages. Summer is when they usually have decent reduced prices on their unlimited rail passes. Not many places in Montana have an Amtrack stop BUT Whitefish does. You can see Glacier then rent a car down to Yellowstone. Takes a few hours to get there but plenty to see in the middle. Lots of people take the train out, sightsee, drive down through Yellowstone then fly or train home. It's a longer trip but so worth it.

I would rather fly than take a train. Last summer when I went to Glacier I flew into Kalispell and stayed there.

About 10 years ago or so I flew to Jackson and spent a week in the Tetons and Yellowstone. I alternated, one day in one park, the next in the other.

A few years later I drove all the way to Cody WY and stayed there.

Someday I need to plan far enough ahead so I can actually stay inside Yellowstone, or at least in the towns north and west of it. The commute from Cody and Jackson is so long (but gorgeous!).
