Glacier National Park & Whitefish/Big Mountain cont...

We decided to brave the smoke and haze and head to Glacier National Park on Wednesday because we are so close in Whitefish (about 30min) and we bought a national park pass at Grand Tetons so we didn't have anything to lose! Pretty much everything is still open despite the three fires so we headed up the Going to The Sun Road. 53 miles long, it is the only road that crosses Glacier National Park and is a national historic landmark and also a historical civil engineering landmark. We heard to expect it to take at least 2 hours to get to the top due to traffic and people looking at the views and turning off along the way but it took us less than an hour each way! There are a lot of turn offs that you can stop at but we just stopped at a few due to the air quality and poor visibility. We'll definitely come back another time when there aren't any fires. 

We've been really enjoying staying at the little cabin and have been cooking every night! It's a nice change from all of the dinners out! We are having a lot of fun exploring Whitefish and after a week here are starting to feel like locals! LOL!

We have also had fun taking the jetski out on Whitefish Lake.. it's a really small lake compared to Flathead Lake but it's really pretty and clean.
