Glacier National Park and Lake Louise




This year's RV trip was to Glacier National Park near Kalispell, Montana with a side excursion to Lake Louise near Banff, Alberta, Canada.  On the way home we stopped by Craters of the Moon National Monument in Idaho.

I enjoy my pilgrimage to Perkins in Idaho Falls.  But the Kalispell location was much better!

Waterfalls all over the place.  Reminds me of Alaska.

Yes, we will be driving through that cloud!

Waterfalls are often provided with a drain under the road, but we drove through these

Lots of green in the park

Waterfalls collect logs and debris
