Our trip to the West had several highlights. Most of all was the change in landscape. Watching the plains of North Dakota give way to the hills (and then) mountains of Northern Montana. The amount of wildlife seen was truly a surprise. From Mountain goats to wild mustangs,all one needs to do is leave the highway( and perhaps their vehicle) and explore. The big sky of Montana was too much to see in slightly more than a week. We hope to return to the wonders of Glacier National Park and its surrounding area soon!
