Later during that 2017 trip I set up camp at Sprague Creek in Glacier National Park and took a day ride up the west slope of Going to the Sun Road to Logan Pass and back down to camp. Unfortunately, the NPS opened to road fully to auto traffic that morning. I was only about a third of the way up the climb because I had been taking my time based on the belief that the road would not open to vehicles that day. But it was still a nice ride. I took this shot heading back down.


In between I ventured into the sparsely populated area in and around Yaak, MT for a couple of day, stopping to have lunch by Yaak River Falls on the way to the campground. My dream is to retire up there (at least during spring, summer and fall), but what developed properties are available are mostly crazy expensive these days.
