Once again the sun was up before we were. We hit the road going south to Montana at about 6:30 am under blue skies and comfortable temperatures. It was about 52 degrees so the ride was fun since we were still in the mountains.
We grabbed a light breakfast after about 40 minutes of riding at a small local restaurant that was pretty good for the price.
Once again the mountain views were the attraction. Also the road was pretty nice except there was more traffic going toward the US Border.
Some pictures of the views.
We were now back in the US and glad to be home. Money made sense, speed made sense, time made sense and the cell phone works.....Life is Good!!!
We continued south and went around the south end of Glacier National Park as the Road to The Sun is still closed due to ice and snow in the high elevations. They are not sure when it will be open due to the snow.
The views along the park were once again wonderful with a river flowing around much of the boundary.
On the east side of the park, the road is under construction so we had one of our few stoppages for road work.
As we left the eastern park boundary, the terrain immediately turned into rolling pastureland filled with cattle ranches. Very flat and really pretty featureless for mile after mile.
With the grasslands, came the ever present wind showed up from the southeast that made the riding a more interesting but nothing severe.
We were quickly in Great Falls, Montana, and our motel for the evening.
The we hit the warmest temperature for the past 17 days at 82 degrees when we arrived.
More tomorrow as we head to Rapid City, South Dakota and try to stay ahead of the rain.
