Glacier National Park Road Trip (Fall 2022)
September 26, 2022
Garden City, Idaho to Burns, Oregon
Daily Mileage: 185
Site: Greenbelt #7 dry (6,7,8 dry all look great)
Duration: 1 nights
Cost: $35.50/night
Weather: Sunny & hot (84 degrees)
A thousand miles from nowhere...
We were offered a dry (no hook-ups) site with a gravel (perfectly level!) pad, table and fire ring. For one night, it was perfect. The wide open views of the mountains in the distance, and the pretty pond with birds & ducks, made for a peaceful setting. The sunset, night sky, and sunrise were spectacular.
We forgot to pack our swimsuits, so we weren't able to enjoy the hot springs, but they sure looked inviting. This area is pretty isolated, but the solitude and quiet make up for the dry, dusty area. The flies were obnoxious, but it didn't matter much, because it was too hot to sit outside until the sun went down anyway.
Very peaceful morning with only the sound of the birds. We will definitely return.
Those hot springs look so enticing, too bad you didn't have your suits with you.
ReplyDeleteHelen, I thought so too, but it was a hot day when we arrived. Might be nicer on a cooler day!
DeleteBeautiful photos! I've been to northern California and Nevada but never went up into Oregan. Now I wish I would have.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vicki. The Oregon coast is so pretty. These photos from eastern Oregon remind me of eastern Washington. I prefer the woods over high desert, but it's still pretty in its own way.
DeleteWow that swimming hole looks ideal! Beautiful sky photos. Luv it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan. The stars were pretty incredible in the dark sky, but none of my photos turned out. I'll stick to clouds. :)
