We left Missoula and headed for Glacier National Park with no reservations and not sure where we would stay. The drive took us through some lush agricultural areas and then along the west side of Flathead Lake. John is really itching to go fishing here. It is a beautiful lake.
We entered the park at the west entrance and was told by the rangers that there was only one site in the Fish Creek Campground that we would fit in and it was only for two nights. So we then drove over to Apgar Campground on Lake McDonald, pulled into the first site we saw that our RV would fit on and stayed put. Its a nice site in a big campground and we are pleased with where we are.
We walked to the Visitor Center and checked on some of the hikes and found out that the one we really want to take is still closed due to snow cover. In fact, just last week, a park worker slipped on the snow on the trail, slid about 200 yards then fell 12 feet onto the highway. She is still in a coma and in serious condition from her injuries. We'll check on that one again later in the week. We also checked out the transportation system in the park. We can drive our own car or we can take shuttle buses that run fairly regularly.
Too hot for a fire!
