Montana – the meandering mates

Grinnell Lake in Many Glacier

This is our hike to Grinnell Glacier. At the top stopping point looking out to where the glacier is someone spotted THREE grizzly bears–a sow and her two cubs! They weren’t as close as we would have liked them to be, but we definitely enjoyed watching them play long enough to get nice sunburns on…

Many Glacier Lodge

Another beautiful mountain lodge, equals another day of pure bliss in Glacier National Park.

We enjoyed our homemade breakfast…

4th of July Celebration in Whitefish, Montana

Then–with two lawn chairs over Cyrus’s back–we rode our bike’s a few miles down the road to this outdoor music firework celebration. For dinner, we…

Nine mile round trip hike…

Cyrus accidentally kicked our picnic trash into the water while trying to swat off mozzies, so he had to go wading in the cooold water to catch it and keep from littering. Minus the aggressive mozzies, it…
