After waiting and waiting and waiting weeks went past and finally one very beautiful Sunday morning Jon arrived back in Morgan. Home safe and sound to be with the family!
It was wonderful to finally be a family again. Being without each other was a large test for us this year! We enjoyed a few days at home working on house projects as there were MANY things to fix! Then we darted off to Glacier National Park the drive proved to be long. 12 hours in the car we ended up getting to know each other all over again a little too well ;) We ended up playing a few of those question games where you find out about hopes, dreams, fears, and funny stories of your companion. We arrived at Duck Lake late and spent the night in a little lodge. The room only had two twin beds in it with community bathroom and showers. The diner on the main floor was decent, but we were around a LOT of fishermen! We woke up to a cool crisp morning as we drove across the border to Canada. I couldn't believe how pretty it was! I loved seeing the Prince of Wales Hotel at Waterton National Park. What a beautiful quaint town. As we drove to the rangers station to get our back-country pass we spotted a black bear first thing. Yikes, it was super cool!
We ended up deciding to go to Alderton Lake. The hike up was quite a beast. I don't know how much we climbed, but it took us 4 hours. It was good that we had some yummy wild raspberries to enjoy on the way up, we didn't see much wildlife, but the views were spectacular. When we arrived to the glacier lake we were so sweaty we decided to jump in. Well, Jon did and I just sat there thinking he was crazy!
It was a beautiful night under the stars. Jon was sweet enough to bring Hot Cocoa so we enjoyed some chocolate and the wonderful mtns. The next day we hiked out and drove over to Glacier. We ended up seeing a brown bear when we entered the park. Couldn't have planned it better to see both kinds of bears. We also got up close and personal with some wild mtn goats. Pretty FUN! Driving on the sunrise highway was spectacular! After all this excitement we hiked into our second camp and spent another night on the dirt. It wasn't so bad :)
I thought it would be fun to incorporate YOGA during the hike seeing how I was in nature and all. It was fun coming up with new poses! However, I think one of my favorite parts of the hike was the bridge we had to cross to get to our campsite! So fun! Namaste!
After roughing it I wanted a shower! So we ended up at Lake McDonald. WOW GORGEOUS! They had vacancy at a cabin room motel thing. It was very rustic, we ended up grabbing a blanket and a Ghost Story book and read as we watched the stars come out. Good thing we grabbed a room because it rained that night! Not my favorite thing sleeping in a tent while it's raining. However, it was sad to have it be our last night. The drive home took forever yet again! But overall the trick was AMAZING! Thanks Honey for planning such a wonderful vacation. I LOVE YOU!!!
