You have a visitor

Our final stop in Glacier Park was in the Many Glacier area. Immediately upon our arrival from Waterton we took a historical tour of the Many Glacier Hotel. The hotel is in the midst of a two year renovation so we didn't get to see some things but we got some insights into the renovation.

When we returned to our lodgings at the Swiftcurrent Motor Inn, we had a visitor waiting for us in the parking lot! This is the closest to a moose that we got on this trip and it was close enough. The hill behind the Swiftcurrent is great for wildlife viewing. We saw Grizzly Bears and Mountain Goats with our binoculars.

The Many Glacier area was an exceptionally beautiful area of the park. Unfortunately it is one of the least accessible from the westside. You either access via the Going to the Sun Road or another very windy road from East Glacier. I wonder how they get the tour buses in there...
