Glacier National Park, West Glacier, Montana

After leaving Yellowstone National Park, we headed up to Glacier National in West Glacier Montana. On our way through Montana, the fields were covered with free range cattle. Of course, we couldn't leave Montana without putting some on the grill. About an hour from our destination, we found a local butcher and bought two of the biggest rib eye steaks that I have ever seen. It's going to be hard to buy steaks from the grocery store from now on. It was pricy but let me tell you, it was well worth it.

The next morning we headed to Glacier National West Entrance and after looking at the map, we decided to go Logan's Pass. We knew we could only spend half the day there so we can get ready to move to out next destination. The trail we wanted to see was closed due to snow and avalanches still blocking the roads, so it left us with no choice to hike Avalanche Trail. It was a 4 mile hike round trip and it was spectacular. The pictures can do it no justice.
