Opening Day at the National Bison Range After a long winter and waiting for the snow to melt, it was finally opening day of the Red Sleep Mountain Drive at the National Bison Range.

Just before heading out on the Piegan Pass Trail, in Glacier National Park , our dad read us the stuff about the trail in his trail book. One of the things he said he read was, “Hoary marmots terrorize visitors.” We started down the trail where the clear, shallow, Siyeh Creek ran alongside the trail. […]
Splash Pass (Wow! Free waterpark passes from the library) The next day after having picked up the free passes we had earned from summer reading, we went to Woodland Waterpark.

A couple of days before New Year’s, we left on our trip to Spokane. We wanted to eat at Popeyes, and we wanted to ride escalators. By the time we were ready to go, it was around noon. Dad drove past Flathead Lake, then headed towards the town of Paradise, Montana. It was very pretty […]
One day we all decided to go hike up to Avalanche Lake in Glacier National Park. The Avalanche Lake trail is steep uphill, and has very vertical downhill. We tried to be fast and pass people, while our parents were normal and slow. At the lake we skipped stones, ate a snack, and enjoyed the […]
