More, Yes More Glacier Park









The next morning we awoke early, enjoyed some gourmet coffee from Mike's french press, and my Jet Boil stove, two great pieces of technology. I had scrounged up some UHT half & half from somewhere so the coffee was an absolute treat. The plan for the day was to ride up into Canada and head west on Route 3, stopping the next night at the Bavarian Orchard Motel, a place Mike had found online. For a few minutes we considered heading south a bit to ride Rt 49, a road heading back into the Park that I had heard was fun. But, we had a long way to go so we headed north.

About 5 miles up the road we saw signs for Many Glacier. A quick look at the map confirmed a short (maybe 10 mile) ride back into another section of Glacier Park. What the hell, let's go!

To summarize, another mind blowing visual treat, as the road led us up to another valley of fantastic vistas. There was also a hotel. Here are a few pics:

Wow, great photos, Bob.

I saw a multistrada this am with rider clad in hi viz yellow, and thought it might be you. Not sure if you're back yet.

Looks like you're having a great and safe trip.

I look forward to hearing the tales in person. I'm tied up with the Vermont Balloon Rally until mid Sept, but am looking forward to finally hitting the road with you.

Ride Safely,
