Going-to-the-Sun Road, Montana

Tam and I rented two electric bikes and hired a guide, then set out to Going To The Sun Road. We started on the West side of Glacier National Park from Avalanche parking lot. The trip started with a small incline, and we stopped along the way for photo opts.  After a few miles, the road became steeper and the views more amazing. This is Haystack Butte.  Our guides stopped and did snow Angles. We really started going up and found out why the road is closed to cars until around late June. They remove the guardrails in the fall so the ice and snow does not damage the guardrails. They spend May and June putting the guardrails back and cleaning the road. Once at the top we ran into big horn sheep and a many deer. 

Montana

We traveled to Great Falls, Montana for the wedding of Linda and Daniel Nutt. The wedding was fantastic and everything went off with a hitch. ☺️ We enjoyed meeting Linda's large extended family and were so happy to meet such wonderful people. We jumped around Great Falls and took in the sights with Rob and Reb. R & R drove all the way from Seattle Washington to see the wedding. One of the five falls that Lewis and Clark had to go around during their expedition. They pulled their long canoes around the falls. They thought it would take half a day, but it took 18 days to move all the canoes and provisions around the falls. It has been a hazy overcast for the last few days as the wildfires in Canada has been blowing the smoke down into Montana. We took off to see some sights and ended up at The Lewis and Clark Museum.  The Lewis and Clark Museum was fun, but my wife is a lot more fun. We rented a Jeep Wrangler so that we don't get stuck
