We left Spokane early in the morning along route I-90 and crossed the state line into Idaho about 20 miles later. In order to reach Montana we had to travel east along I-90 through Idaho's Pan Handle National Forest. The scenery was just as beautiful as driving through Washington. It took us roughly an hour and a half to cross the upper portion of Idaho, crossing the Montana state border near Sohon. From there we continued east until we reached Saint Regis, Mt, and then began heading northward on Highway 28 towards Hungry Horse, a small community just ten minutes from the western entrance of Glacier National Park where we spent the night. The drive took us through a section of the Flathead Indian Reservation. This reservation, which was created in 1855, is located along the Flathead River in western Montana and is home to the Bitterroot Salish, Kootenai and Pend d'Oreilles tribes. The reservation is situated in four different Montana counties and includes Flathead Lake. Highway 28 took us on a scenic route around the western side of this lake. The following morning we set out early to explore Glacier National Park. There are two entrances into the park, one on the western side and one on the eastern side. During the summer season, visitors can traverse the park from east-to-west (or vice-versa) along the Going-to-the-Sun Road, but when Joe and I visited Glacier National Park this roadway was closed off at the higher elevations due to snow in the upper passes. Normally, the park is not fully open until the second week of June, which forced us to make a decision on which side we wanted to see. My guidebook suggested taking the eastern entrance for the more dramatic mountain views, so that's what we did. From Hungry Horse we followed Route 2 (the same scenic roadway we had taken in Washington) through a forested region along the southern edges of Glacier National Park before reaching the eastern terminus in St. Mary, a community within the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. We entered the park and drove along St. Mary Lake and got as far as the Jackson Glacier Overlook before the road was closed off and we had to turn around. And while we only managed to view a relatively small section of Glacier National Park, what we did see was awesome!
