Phyllis had long wanted to go to Glacier National Park, especially after having been involuntarily
redirected away from Glacier in 1990. I had previously visited Glacier National Park in
1974 and 1990. We flew to Kalispell, Montana on the airline formerly known as Northwest which
was a great connection (only 2.5 hours, direct). We stayed at the West Glacier Motel in a little
house-keeping cabin. We mostly hiked in the mountains, including St. Mary Falls, Hidden Lake Overlook
out of Logan Pass, Siyeh Pass, Avalanche Lake. Joe and Jamie made their first forays outside
the US when we drove up to Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada.
