July 7-11 (with Glacier National Park!)

Nothing happened on July 7-10....I went to a rodeo and had some fun.

On the night of July 10th, Spencer and I left Old Faithful with some Colombians very late in the evening on our way to Glacier National Park. We took the wrong way there (through Missoula, MT) so it took us almost 12 hours to get there!

We camped at Apgar Campground (on the western side). I can't even begin to explain how beautiful of a park this is! The mountains are just phenomenal...the lakes are a pristine blue because of all the glacial water!

We drove to Kintla and Bowman Lakes on the western side and stopped at Polebridge Mercantile. It's this little backcountry store that had very expensive gas, but quite possibly the best baked goods I've EVER had!

These lakes were gorgeous and we had a run-in with a fox that was continually coming closer and closer. Did some nice little walks (no huge hikes because we didn't have enough time!)

There is this road called "Going To The Sun Road" that takes you across the continental divide and up through the most gorgeous mountains I've ever seen. Spencer and I stopped at Logan's Pass and hiked up the boardwalk to where we could play in the snow. This was cold, but a lot of fun! We saw Bighorn Sheeps, Mountain Goats, Deer, Marmots, etc etc. It was awesome!

We tried to make it into Canada, but apparently Colombians aren't allowed in Canada without a visa, so we had to fill out paperwork and sign things...our car got thoroughly searched (on both U.S.A. and Canadian side!)....so unfortunately we just barely stepped over the border into Alberta (Glacier N.P. stretches into Alberta to form Waterton International Peace Park!)

We saw some gorgeous lodges, swam/bathed in a glacial lake...and just really really enjoyed ourselves! I don't have a ton to type about it now, but I'm def going to be sure to put more as the days progress.

Keep me in your prayers and you'll be in mine!
