Glacier National Park in Montana Tuesday Travel Destination
Glacier National Park in Montana is the Tuesday Travel Destination today.
– Glacier National Park is a 1,583-sq.-mi. wilderness area in Montana’s Rocky Mountains, with glacier-carved peaks and valleys running to the Canadian border. Glacier’s pristine forests, alpine meadows, spectacular lakes, and rugged mountains are not to be missed. It’s crossed by the mountainous Going-to-the-Sun Road. This is a breath-taking drive you have to see to believe. However, it is not for the faint of heart. On our way driving up the road, we saw several cars from flat-lands, pulled over to the side and had to be escorted back down. If mountain driving, or sheer drop offs scares you, the best way to see Going-to-the-Sun Road is by hiring one of the tour vehicles and drivers provided. Among more than 700 miles of hiking trails, it has a route to photogenic Hidden Lake. Other activities include backpacking, cycling and camping. Diverse wildlife ranges from mountain goats to grizzly bears. Psst… my book A Vampire’s Unlikely Alliance is in part set inside Glacier National Park.
This was a fun destination for July. We arrived on July 4th and look forward to fireworks when it got dark. Only dark didn’t arrive until after midnight. Wow. We watched the spectacular fireworks display put on by the KOA Campground we stayed at just outside the entrance to the Park. By the time we got to bed, it was two in the morning. The next thing we knew, the sun shone brightly though the RV windows at four in the morning. No wonder we were tired. Not used to operating on two hours sleep. It didn’t keep us from heading out to see the sights.
Yep this was the same trip but at the top of Going to The Sun Road.
A sneak peek at A VAMPIRE’S UNLIKELY ALLIANCE set in Glacier National Park.
Stefan is a Native American vampire, former assassin for the Vampire Council. In a twist of fate, he now DJ’s the midnight shift for a small radio station in Whitefish, Montana, on the edge of Glacier National Park where his secret is safe until…
Born in Ireland, Brandy now works as a park ranger and trail guide in the park. During a full moon, Stefan and Brandy’s paths cross in a near physical collision on a trail. Their attraction is immediate and undeniable, almost as if fate demanded it.
Their union was foretold long ago in Irish folk tales where vampires and gryphons, warlocks and demons, witches and faeries must work together for the good of man and magic kind. Is a trip to Ireland the key to unraveling secrets and returning the magic? And even more importantly, will their love survive the trip?
