Under cloudy (and often rainy) skies, we set off for our two-night stay at the Cedar Creek Lodge in Columbia Falls, Montana.
We only made a few photo stops along the way…
…such as these near Salmon Lake, Montana.
After views like this, we finally made it to the portion of the route that our AAA map indicated was scenic. There, we traveled miles and miles with “scenic” views of trees and more trees and nothing but trees.
We soon made it to our lodging at the Cedar Creek Lodge and Conference Center in Columbia Falls, Montana, about 20 miles from Glacier National Park.
Ours was a nice room with a “mountain” view above the shingles of the hotel portico.
Tomorrow, we begin a one-day exploration of Glacier National Park.
