Day 8: Glacier National Park

We left Great Falls this morning and headed towards Glacier National Park - it was a short day - only took us about 3 hours to get there :) We had breakfast at the Whistle Stop in the park - famous for their omelets and french toast. We both had the huckleberry french toast - which was more like a funnel cake :) We stopped for lunch awhile later in a really small town with only two resturants. We ate at the Panter Cafe and learned that they called tater tots "gems." We stayed at the Glacier Park Lodge which was an old old lodge with NO air conditioning! Brant really liked the huge douglas fir trunks that were used to build the lodge. We got there early enough to go on a hike up to Hidden Lake which was amazing!! It was pretty warm and funny because we were hiking across snow! After hiking, we went back to the lodge and ate dinner at the lodge dining hall. We had a table by the window that overlooked the sunset over the mountains. We went to bed early as we are leaving early tomorrow to drive to Banff National Park! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOTT :)
