West Glacier KOA - August 2018

After two nights at the Whitefish KOA we moved on to the West Glacier KOA for the last night.  If we thought the other one was nice, this one was like a Cadillac.  This KOA was much newer, and had flowers that were like incredible eye candy.  The resort was very clean and really just absolutely gorgeous.  We loved it. In the evening there was a program for the kids with captured owls which was really neat. There was an ice cream store and a beautiful big pool. We very much enjoyed strolling around and using the amenities.  Five stars out of five go to Whitefish KOA.   

 Before we knew it, it was time to go home again! What a lovely little trip we had.
On the way home, right across the Canadian border was this teeny tiny little ghost town. Andy, knowing how much I love ghost towns stopped so we could do some window peeping :)  So much scope for the imagination hanging out by these buildings!  Loved it.

Going-To-The-Sun Road and Logan's Pass - August 2018

 Going-to-the-Sun Road, Glacier National Park, Montana. 
This was one of the things we wanted to do since we moved here, and finally, the time was right! 
In case you don't know what this special road is, in short, it's a spectacular pass that cuts through Glacier National Park from east to west crossing the continental divide. It was finished in 1932 and has wide and varied scenery on either side of a well kept highway that is 50 miles long.   It was an exceedingly beautiful, drive. 
At the crest of the pass there is a stop which is called Logan's Pass. We had lunch there and did the hike, which was a nice boardwalk path much of the way.  According to the boys in this family it was "Mom's kind of walk" and it absolutely was my kind of hike 😝.  Enough people on the path to scare away any kind of bears, also enough people to make it interesting (and a little social) and flat enough to keep it exhaustion free. Perfection. 

 On the way back to the campsite we stopped at a random campground with a beach for a dip.  It was in the national park.  Beautifully clear water.

Whitefish Montana - August 2018

All these beautiful, hot, summer days feel like a lifetime ago!  All the warm sun tans are long faded and the ground is cold and hard now, but this little trip warms my cold January heart;)
We were blessed to be able to use our dear {and generous} friends camper trailer this past summer and try it out with our one tonne to see how it went. We took it down to Montana for three nights. It was a great experience and the van proved her worth plus some! Needless to say, we felt pretty cool driving around like this 😍

A little bathroom break in Milk River AB.

Another little break to feel the mountain water across the border.

Whitefish had a beautiful beach!

We stayed at the Whitefish KOA which was a deluxe campground. Honestly, if you've gotta camp, may as well do it well.  The kids loved the place, it came with free breakfasts, skelters, a petting zoo, mini golf, pool and so much more.  Highly recommend!
