    We got a flat tire in our rental car when we drove that road in Glacier. My mom and I started walking up the road to find help when a truck pulled over and warned us about a bear straight ahead. Thank God they saw us stranded and pulled over to help fix the flat with equipment they had. Ranger showed up right when we fixed it haha. It was quite a memorable experience!
  • We did a motorcycle ride with about 100 other bikers a few years ago. Started out in Kalispell, did Eastside, Canadian border, and came back down on Westside, in August, gorgeous weather in Kalispell, but rain, sleet and snow in the mountains. Glorious and scary day!!!! Loved seeing the clouds from above them instead of below!!!

    Ah. East Glacier Lodge the best stay ever. The 8 hr Red bus trip over the sun road was the best. The Boat ride in the morning at Two Medicine Lake. Plus Via Amtrak equals zero frustration vacation.
  • With the crowded roads, the 21 ft length limit and the tight parking it sounds like a good place to tour on my motorcycle. I was there several decades ago but I really don't remember much of it. Keep the good stuff coming guys and give the kids a hug for me.
  • All the amazing beauty up there, wildlife and scenery, and JJ stole the show by throwing his only shoe in the river :-)
  • @Khaigh1
    The KOA in West Glacier is amazing

    My son used to have the same problem with shoes! We had good luck with wide and extra wide widths from Stride Rite. There isn't a brick and mortar store near us anymore, but you can still order online.

    What a beautiful place!! Oh no… The shoe😂😂
  • It reminds me of Alaska. That was a really skinny bear. Good thing you continued on your way. ❤😂
  • When my son was small (now 48) his feet were as wide as they were long...literal squares. We could only find one pair of shoes, a Nike, that was really expensive at the time. He wore that same size shoe, wore out at least 2 pairs a year, for 4 years!!!!
  • We were just there July 29-Aug.2. That gravel road was the worst. The rest was great. We pulled our car behind our class A. Super glad we did!
  • We were in Glacier last year for 2 weeks; 1 week each on the west and east side. Did quite a few epic hikes and rarely saw wildlife 🙁 We decided on one of our low key days to head to Two Medicine. What a gorgeous area and not a lot of the crowds!
  • @sheilacaine
    Really beautiful. I enjoyed it. ❤❤❤❤
  • Oh my gosh!! I did see you!! Seemed like we were following each other all over the park. Just always saw you from a distance or drove by you. Very smoky during that week, and hot, but still beautiful! Next time we hope to say hello! We should send you some coffee. Lol ;)
  • If it makes you feel better, I worked at Swiftcurrent Motor Inn for a summer (1979) and only used the buses to see the other Great Hotels…and once for along the Going to the Sun road. Mostly we hiked. Where you’re at is the best starting point for hiking.
