Epic road trip, day 13

We spend a second day at Glacier, and Mr. GV had an awesome bike ride that morning.  Bikers were allowed to go quite a bit further than other traffic.  

While he was riding, I hung out at our favorite spot from the day before, just enjoying the scenery and reading.  

I could have sat there all day long on the moss-covered logs, looking at the water and the mountains.  

Eventually it was time for Mr. GV's bike ride to be over, so I met him and we had a picnic lunch.  While we were there, we were joined by a Stellar's Jay, a bird that we do not have at home.  

That afternoon we took a boat tour on Lake McDonald.  We saw land that had been decimated by fire several years ago.  It is coming back to life though, slowly.  

We both had a great time on the boat.  

This picture just cannot do the reality of Glacier any justice.  

Eventually we had to leave the park and head to dinner.  We chose to try out Hu Hot.  The food was good, and the fact that there was tofu and plenty of vegetables was so nice.  

Epic road trip, Day 12

Our first day at Glacier National Park!  Unfortunately there was still snow being cleared on the Going to the Sun road so we could only drive a few miles into the park.  But oh!  The scenery!  We fell in love with this place.  

Look!  A vegan out in the wild!  Luckily I was able to throw some tofu and granola over to the side to distract him!  (Or as I like to call this #perpetuatingveganstereotypes.) 

We found some vegan snacks in the camp store.  We tried the hazelnut cookies, and they were delicious.  

But I would have to be starving to spend $5.59 on a box of Wheat Thins!  

I just had to have my picture at the Continental Divide!  

Apparently they have hovercrafts near the Continental Divide?  This is what happens when a car goes by during your panoramic shot.  

We drove to the other side of the park, to Two Medicine.  It was chilly enough to have a fire going in the park store.
