Initially heading west out of Bozeman, we soon turned north to follow the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains up to Glacier. We were often the highest point around, riding with blue skies and temperatures in the low 90's. We were hot, sticky and sunburnt! The heat was so intense at one point that we took shade beside an electrical box that gave off a small rectangle of shade. Reaching Glacier National Park, we climbed the long anticipated Going-to-the-Sun road over the continental divide. The views were beyond specacular and the 26 mile downhill wasn't bad either. Spotting a few bears (one of which swam across the Missouri River in hopes of tasting our hamburger dinner) and moose along the way, we were always on the lookout for wildlife. We have had an amazing ride thus far up to Polebridge (taking the kind woman's offer of her cabin up here in the middle of nowhere) and will continue on the forest service roads over to Eureka before making our way to Sandpoint, ID.
Breakfast of champions... or at least breakfast for us! Polebridge Mercantile
Can you spot the bear in the river?
We could!
