Hey Amy and Guthrie!

I can't respond to your blog post - it won't let me email back. email again with contact info! We want to hear about France!

Many Glacier Hotel at Glacier Park

This was definitely our fave of the 3 hotels we stayed in - it's much more resort-y than the other 2. It overlooks a lake with gorgeous views - we walked partway around the lake one day.
Our 3rd day in the park - it's finally sunny!

The night before at sunset.
This place is huge! And very Swiss-chalet-themed.
Walking around the lake - notice the hat/jacket/fleece combo - it's Labor Day!!

Bears!

Welcome to the first picture post from our vacay to Glacier Park, Montana last week. Everything I read about Glacier Park prior to going mentioned bears in the park. Even our park pass receipt was stapled to a bear safety pamphlet. Luckily, all 4 of our bear encounters were from a safe distance (hence the far-away pics!) - in fact, one of the four encounters we didn't even know about until we were back home! (Jon was videoing out the window of our cabin and ended up videoing a black bear snuffling around our neighbor's cabin! We didn't even know until we were watching the video a couple of days ago! Crazy!)

Black bear - we saw this guy on our very first afternoon drive through the park. ( FYI - It's always a good idea to stop when there are several other cars pulled over taking pics!)




Grizzly!! We saw this one just behind the Two Sister's Cafe (a fun little local restaurant we visited twice in 2 days!)

We're Back!

We're back from our vacation to Glacier Park, Montana!
We drove up all day Saturday and Sunday and stayed in the park Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights. Monday we did an afternoon horseback ride, and Tuesday we drove up to Canada. Wednesday and Thursday we drove home -including a side trip to Little Bighorn battlefield. Pictures to follow, as soon as I can get to them!
