It was a beautiful cold day from Helena towards Kalispell where there’s yet again, another Super 8! Haha. Kalispell is a decent town on the western side of Glacier National Park. Shortly after leaving Helena, we headed up some mountains and the temperature dropped about 4-5°. Gabe and I were discussing stopping before going up the mountain to put some heavier gloves on and rain pants to acts as a wind barrier. Good thing we did! It went from 53° to 49° real fast! Christian was smart enough to be prepared so he was fine! On a motorcycle, as long as it’s not freezing, just blocking the wind keeps you warm.
On our way, we rode through a lake-like region filled with lots of beautiful evergreens that had a reddish bark. It so happens to be Flathead National Forest – it was so pretty. We passed several lakes, including Seeley Lake where Gabe’s wife’s family owns a piece of property. We didn’t stop, just continued to Kalispell.
It was a short day. Only 3-4 hours of ride time. We didn’t have much else to do except head into Glacier National Park the next day. So, we did a little research to see what we should try and accomplish in the park. Gabe and Christin also took short naps. I was trying get some photos together and catch up on this blog.
They both woke up hungry so we went across the parking lot for some food. I had a delicious steak dinner because I made a deal with Christian that since I got him a free room, he would get me a good dinner and we’d call it even. He agreed and the menu at The Montana Club did not disappoint. I ordered a nice steak dinner and Christian ordered a filet topped with crab and parmesan. It was delicious!
