Glacier National Park Road Trip (Fall 2022)
September 16-19, 2022
St. Mary to Columbia Falls, Montana
Daily Mileage: 115
Site: 35 (ideal sites 1, 11, 55)
Duration: 4 nights
Cost: $60.50/night
Weather: Warm and sunny
We decided to take Highway 89 from St Mary back to Highway 2, hoping that the road construction wasn't too slow or muddy. It wasn't too bad, and the views of the nearby mountains were beautiful in spite of evidence of recent fires.
Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Monument
John F. Stevens Memorial
Middle Fork Flathead River
It was too early for us to check-in to our site at the RV park, so we drove into town (Columbia Falls) and picked up a few groceries and had a delicious lunch at Vaqueros.
Huge Servings!
Columbia Falls RV Park is conveniently located off of Highway 2 with plenty of trees and beautiful landscaping. We had full hookups, a level pad (gravel), picnic table, grass and shady trees. The park has a large laundry room, very clean showers, and a small convenience store. We had a good signal for both T-Mobile and Verizon, in addition to the free WiFi.

Lots of empty sites, as it was the end of the season.
Such fantastic vacations! I didn't know about the Roosevelt monument. It must look sort of strange, this huge man-made thing in the middle of nowhere/nature.
ReplyDeleteHelen, we sure do get to have some wonderful vacations traveling with our RV. Yes, that monument did seem a bit weird out there in the middle of nowhere! It definitely caught our eye.
DeleteYeah I think we have been through Columbia Falls. We went through Whitefish (quite a few Canadians have places there) and I had a knee surgery once in Kalispell, argh. (2013 if I recall). But your trip looks much better. Great view of the monument. Did you see Flathead lake? south of Kalispell a little.
ReplyDeleteSusan, we saw Flathead lake on our drive south out of the area. Gorgeous!
DeleteYou're welcome, Vicki! Stay tuned later this year to see my posts about our current trip. It will be even more enticing! :)
