Big Sky Country (2015)

Montana was a great adventure! We road tripped it thru Washington, Idaho and finally to Missoula, MT. Our final destination was Glacier National Park (as seen below).

Missoula: We went thru the summer time, so the temperatures were reaching up in the 100s, so the water was a cool 70 degrees -- perfect for me because I hate getting into cold freezing water. Through out the town they had random pianos on the streets, so anybody that knew how to play can just sit down and play a little tune for the pedestrians.

These following pictures (plus the one above) are just amazing. Glacier National Park is a must see.

The beauty is outlandish, over the top (or to give credit, my favorite person took this picture-- he wanted to capture it just in the right angle, he did a great job!)...

We saw different kinds of plants, vermints and a lot of mountain goats...

Did I mention that my friend loves plants (above), if it was his choice my camera would have been filled with nothing but plants, flowers, and tree pictures! Good thing, he isn't much of a picture taker.

There highway is called Going to the Sun Road (it's a beautiful stretch of road), that takes the visitors throughout the park -- every twist and turn is another amazing site of what nature can offer us.

It truly took my breath away! Here I am standing at Overlook Lake(above), and I remember thinking, "Wow, this is gorgeous! It's rare to see beauty like this in it's most natural state without humans trying to destroy it."

I wanted to visit Montana again because I remember as a child riding in our RV in the front seat and seeing buffalo and antelopes grazing along wide open fields and/or meadows and no humans around to disrupt them (these animals I have never seen before). There is a reason why Montana is called Big Sky Country. One can drive and see endless sky, endless beauty, and endless nature interacting with each other. The air is clean and crisp. The drive up to Glacier National Park was amazing also. We stopped at any body of lake that we could and went swimming -- that's how warm the water was for me!
