Day 12- Columbia Falls to East Glacier

We spent a great time with the folks of Our Savior Lutheran church and our wonderful hosts Mary and Norm Hagen. Columbia Falls is at the foot of the range of mountains that borders Glacier National Park. It was great to wake up at the Hagens and see the mountains a quarter mile away.


















Then is was off to the Glacier Park and Marais pass. After a short ride from Columbia Falls to Glacier west, we took a short side trip into the park to see Lake McDonald.


From West Glacier we crossed the southern end of the an up the 5200 ft pass. It also happens to be the continental divide.

















The group was particularly gratified to make this pass. It seems harder than all the others we did. Maybe it was the 95 plus degree heat.
