Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons
We passed through Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons on our way from Superior, MT down to Grand Junction, CO and saw all the sights. Old Faithful went off as predicted at 3:35pm on the dot. All the othermal features we’re steaming and bubbling away. And the Grand Canyon was just as grand as ever. We…

Superior, MT
We have been loving Superior and exploring the west side of Montana. Our first week it was a bit cold and rainy but it was great to have a visit from my Dad and Karen. Thanks to Karen for planning a joint birthday celebration visit for me and my dad! We finally got some better…

Glacier National Park
Glacier National Park is such a beautiful place! Our first day we did a short hike near East Glacier. We stayed at KOA in West Glacier and that night they had a birds of prey exhibit! The next day we attempted the Going to the Sun Road but the weather wasn’t too cooperative. Our second…

Goodbye, Great Falls
Today is our last day in Great Falls. The locals told us to keep it a secret but I’ll go ahead and say it, Great Falls is great! One last thing that I was able to squeeze in was a visit to the Charles M. Russell museum in Great Falls. The cowboy artist’s log cabin…

Helena Birthday Weekend
We took a quick trip to Helena this weekend to celebrate my birthday. To kick things off on Friday though, Chris ordered Lombardi’s pizza all the way from NY and a key lime pie from they keys! He also flew in bagels and we made bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches just like the ones we’ve…

Bozeangeles
This weekend we headed to Bozeman or as Great Falls locals called it, Bozeangeles. I’m assuming as a reference to the recent influx of Californians. I don’t blame anyone for flocking to the city because the drive there alone was incredibly beautiful. We went on a fun hike right outside the city to the Montana…

Mermaids, Mountains and Madame Moustache
We got this weekend off to a great start by visiting Sip n’ Dip, a local tiki bar with real, live mermaids! Chris approves. Next we headed to Fort Benton the “oldest continuously inhabited settlement in Montana”. We visited the old fort and learned the history of the town’s gunslingers including the impressive Madame Moustache.…

Great Falls is Great
It’s our second weekend in Montana and we had a chance to see more of Great Falls. We visited the First People’s Buffalo Jump outside the city. Native American tribes hunted bison here by herding them off the cliffs of this plateau. We checked out Giant Springs, the largest natural springs in the US. We…

Great Falls, MT
We made it to Montana! Glendisaurus was there to greet us in Glendive when we crossed the border. Then we were off to Harlowton for the Harlo Music Project’s fifth annual music festival. Mike and the Moonpies was the band we came to see but the Vandoliers played an awesome set too. We also got…
