Day 9 -- Glacier... Sort of...



Wow, our final night at the cabin in West Yellowstone. I can't say that any of us will miss it. It was nice enough, just tight. We planned on an early start and did relatively well at getting out. We knew we had a long way to drive if we were going to make it through Glacier and on into Canada.

The drive was great, just a very long way. Montana is such a big state, it seems like it takes forever just to drive from the bottom to the top. As we approached glacier we thought the trip would be worth it. We started out in the park by seeing a small bull moose...

Our excitement was short lived because of road construction in the park. We were stuck in traffic for 15 or 20 minutes. Things only got worse when we finally got through only to discover a mile later that the pass was closed; there would be no going across and on into Canada for us. Everyone was disappointed. The bad part was, I had been on their web page several times looking for any info, and even now, can't find anything about the road closing. We're very disappointed.

We came on around the park and are staying in Great Falls, Montana at a Motel 6... By far the nicest place we've stayed so far.
