Ok … we have time. Why? What is our true nemesis? RAIN. And it rained last night, a long time, and it’s supposed to rain most of today. Oh, well. So, we’ll just go places!
First place is just outside opt the KoA – the town of Hungry Horse. And they have a mascot:
I’d be tempted to call that guy “Horny Horse” instead!
OH! That’s his TAIL. Ok. Hungry it is.
We went to check out a place called Herron Park – it’s going to be used for the 24-hour race:
And here’s a pano from the trailhead:
Then, we tried to go to some other trails, but it was a no-go. Literally! We tried to take highway 93 North out of town, but there was construction, and it was NOT moving (traffic was backed up all the way to downtown!), so we bailed, and went to look at the ski resort trails. Well, those sucked – they really want you to rent their downhill bikes and gets lift ticket, and that’s just not us. We’re not THAT lazy just yet, we still like to earn our downhills. On the return, traffic was backed up A MILE south of town! Evidently it had not moved AT ALL since we bailed on it. That’s just all kinds of wrong, right there.
Anyway, back to Glacier NP, for a presentation on wolves, which was VERY interesting, and in the process, I got some nice scenic shots:
Beautiful place!
Tomorrow? Depends on the weather! Ride or drive.
