The last place I left you at was we were heading to Montana! I LOVE MONTANA!!
Glacier National Park is my #1 I can't get enough of this place. Unfortunately the wild fires in the west created a smoke sky that made it very difficult to see the mountains and breath while out doors. We still made the best of it. Every time I go to Glacier NP I learn more and I like sharing it with you. This was my second time there and not my last.
Now Glacier NP has a podcast on YouTube https://youtu.be/sz9Ec04KK-c here is a link that will get you there. While I was listening to the pod cast they spoke about Ben Cosgrove listen to him here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJAT7huyaeQ I found some new music for my spa room.
I also subscribed to Glacier Book Club and Glacier NP Conservancy. This keeps me up to date on what is going on in the park now and history of the park. I love the book club because you listen to the authors of the book describe what influenced them. I just purchased Blackfeet Tales of Glacier NP by James Willard Schultz.
What we never learned in school..... The Indian Nations I will continue my blogs to go into this in more depth because there is just so much to tell you about. Here is some of the Historical marker on Highway 2 from Glacier NP heading East on the Lewis and Clark Trail https://www.nps.gov/lecl/index.htm Check it out.
As we were driving along and I had cell service to pass the time I would look for the Historic markers and see what it was and googled it. These were just a few that we saw

I picked up a copy of Glacier Journal to read while I was resting from a day of hiking. Get your copy here https://flatheadbeacon.com/section/glacier-journal/ and stay connected.
Our National Parks have so much to offer I am obsessed with Glacier I know but your park will connect with you in the same way. Whether you visit the park in person or virtual from home I urge you to explore!
