After the reunion Julie, Arnie, Kitsy, Van and I took off for Glacier. We overnighted in Great Falls at the Arvon Hotel, a 1890 renaissance-inspired building, originally a livery stable.
Next in Great Falls was the C. M. Russell Museum. Known as the cowboy artist, Russell was also a storyteller and author. This museum houses over 2,000 Russell artworks, personal objects and artifacts.
A stop in Giant Springs Park. The Roe River is known to be the shortest river in the country at 201 feet. Over 150 million gallons of water bubble up from this spring each day and flows into the Missouri.
Off to the iconic Sip and Dip Bar. Yes, mermaids!
Glacier
The park had over 100 glaciers when established in 1910. Today only 26 remain.
The lodge
Hike around the lake
The wildfires blurred all pics but it was still amazing.
Stopped in White Sulphur Springs to see ‘the castle ‘ a mansion built in 1892 by Roger Byron Sherman. We spent the night in this town and enjoyed soaking in the hot springs. Can’t believe I didn’t take a pic.
Chico Springs – another really cool place
Soaking in their hot tubs
My sisters in the car.
Back to Nye – the turkeys were everywhere

Barb,
These pictures are great. It sometimes seems like you’ve become an amateur geologist.
I hope you had a great birthday Tuesday.
