Day 24 was more about the destination than the journey. Glacier national park is one of those things you really need to see to believe. But I put up a bunch of pictures anyway.
We arrived in our first real campsite since we were on the coast. We still had lots of daylight so we hiked up to one of the park's big attractions, avalanche lake.
Because we had a big day the next day, we were in bed by 8.
The next morning we were on the road a little after 6. This is because we were going to ride a very particular road, Going-to-the-Sun road. This is the real meat and potatoes of Glacier NP.
Its carved into the mountains and curves upwards with beautiful views along the way.
Because of crazy traffic and skinny road, cyclists are not allowed between the hours of 11-4.
So we missed most of the car traffic. Oh darn.
Ooooo the views.
We made it to the top of logans pass in world record time.
The descent was reeeaaally cold so we had to hang out in the sun for a little butt.
The only notable thing that happened between that and the end of the day was the tasty lunch we got. We ate burgers in a town called Hungry Horse and Mike treated us to huckleberry (the regional specialty) pie.
We camped in flathead state park.
