Though I was tempted to visit Blotchett Canyon near Hamilton, Montana the development between Hamilton and Missoula made me want to keep driving. We decide to head to Glacier - but not without getting our fill of cherries grown in the Flathead Valley.
Pete had never visited Glacier and was taken by its beauty. One would have to be crazy not to enjoy the Going to the Sun Highway. Agpar Village wins the Huckleberry Pie contest over East Glacier. We enjoyed several 2-6 mile hikes and then one evening decided to turn east.
With the sun at our backs we said goodbye to our Montana adventure. Evenings in Havre, Montana and Devils Lake, South Dakota were all that were between us and my moms cabin in Hackensack, Minnesota. Lucky for us, we had four ninety degree days to swim to our hearts content before seeing family in Minneapolis and returning to Milwaukee.
Before I close the record of this grand summer journey - let me pay tribute to my able and efficient Prius. Three of us lived out of this wonderful little Toyota, comfortably for three weeks and 4000 miles. Even over mountain passes it maintained at least 53mpg.
This summer - it was grand!
