Glacier National Park. St. Marys, Montana

Today I drove 262.1 miles from Banff, Canada to St. Mary’s Montana.  There was wildfire smoke in the air for a good portion of the trip all the way to Montana.

I crossed over the border and am now back in the United States.

 

St. Mary’s KOA was my camp site for the next two nights.  I had a nice view of the mountains. 

The KOA was very close to the entrance of Glacier National Park.  I took my lifetime National Park pass and headed over to the Visitors Center.

 

They had a lot of great information about the park.  In order to drive on the roads around the park you need to make a reservation and purchase a pass.  Since I planned last minute, I did not have a reservation.

 

Because I wanted to see more of the park and not have to worry about driving the roads, I purchased a Red Bus Tour.  

It was a great idea, and I enjoyed the drive around the park with information provided by our bus driver/tour guide.

 

My day of arrival to the St. Mary’s area was overcast and rainy.  The day of the tour was perfect weather with sunny skies!

 

I enjoyed this stop at Glacier National Park!

The next stop is Yellowstone National Park
