July 3-10
Idaho, Washington, Montana
- Left Kaniksu National Forest around 10:30 am and headed to Montana - crossed the state line around 12, and got to Kalispell, MT around 3 pm - just south of Glacier National Park. Arrived at Glacier around 4 and paid the $20 entry fee. Ate lunch at Lake McDonald (turkey/chicken wraps). Drove to Bowman lake via lot of long winding dirt roads through the northern part of the park (about 20 miles in). Set up camp (#14, $12/nt). Walked to Bowman Lake and had a few beers. Postcard perfect! Amazingly still lake with mountains on each side, reflecting on the lake.
- Lots of mosquitos! Wildlife spotted: deer (in and out of our camp all night!), coyote
- Dinner: Brats/veggie burgers with roasted zucchini (camp cooking is awesome)
- Beer of the Day: Quail Spring IPA, Hucklberry Wheat (Great Northern Brewing Co) and PBR
- 2nd refuel: $24
- Dark at 11 pm (mosquitos have finally gone away)
- Mileage: 756 total/236 today
