We drove all the way from Garryowen to Coram, Montana, today. It was a lllllooooonnnnggggg drive, about 10 1/2 hours, including stops for gas, lunch, etc. We left early, but we had had enough by the time we got here. It is our longest drive we have planned. Actually, beyond Seattle, we don't have much planned at all!
We crossed the Yellowstone River several times on the way here - until we passed by Yellowstone National Park. We weren't that far from the park, actually. But we have been there before, so on this trip, we decided not to redo things we have already done, unless we can't avoid it.
Plus we passed over the Continental Divide (dividing the Atlantic from the Pacific drainage).
We passed scenes like this a few times. There were little pockets of mountains here and there. More like the Montana I imagined.
Arriving at Glacier National Park (or just outside the park), we see the Rocky Mountain range in front of us. We'll be here for the next 3 nights exploring this area.
A couple of more town names we thought interesting: Anaconda (yuck) and Opportunity - maybe not a bad place to live? Don't you love the skiing sign and the Hospital sign at the same time? Hehe.
