West Yellowstone to Missoula, MT to Glacier NP (Miles 5,253 - 5,681)

31 August - 1 September 2014

We took our time leaving the motel since the rain was still falling when we woke up.  The forecast said it was supposed to stop in the morning, but we took off in the rain anyway headed to Glacier National Park.  Luckily by lunch it did stop and we had a nice ride to Missoula, Montana with one brewery stop:

Quarry Brewing, Butte, Montana

At the Quarry Brewery we met a couple of sisters that were also headed to Glacier National Park as well.  We compared notes as far as campsites and hikes and jokingly said that we would see them there.  We left Quarry and headed on to Missoula.  Why did we pick to stop in Missoula?  FOUR breweries.

Kettlehouse Brewing Company, Missoula, Montana

Flathead Lake Brewery, Missoula, Montana

Draught Works Brewery, Missoula, Montana

Tamarack Brewing Company, Missoula, Montatna

Oh...wait...let's return to Draught Works.  It was Ice Cream Sunday so they were selling ice cream sandwiches.  The ice cream was made with one of their beers and the cookies were baked at a local bakery.  Believe me when I tell you...this has got to be the BEST ice cream sandwich I have EVER had.

Somehow we were able to wake up the next morning and finish the ride to Glacier National Park.  We found our campsite and set-up camp and looked forward to the next day to explore Glacier National Park.
