We crossed into Canada on June 21 and spent five very long days exploring Canada on our way to the Alaskan border. We stayed two nights in Banff exploring Banff National Park and the surrounding area. The campground in Banff was different from what we’ve seen before. Instead of having a small driveway type …
Today we drove from Three Forks, MT to Shelby, MT to stay overnight on our way to Alaska! The drive between Helena and Great Falls was absolutely gorgeous! This road was cut right through the mountain range and it was really cool! In the picture above you can see a bridge we went over and …
Madison Buffalo Jump was used by numerous Native American tribes for about 2000 years. Young men called ‘runners’ were trained in speed and endurance. The ‘runners’ would wear buffalo, antelope, or wolf skins and cause entire herds of buffalo to stampede off the cliff. By using logs, the tribes would funnel the buffalo to certain …
This is the sign that greets you at the beginning of the hike to the entrance of the Lewis & Clark Caverns cave and let me tell you…it’s a doozy of a hike! You gain 300 vertical feet in less than a mile. Now, that might not sound like a big deal and to someone …
There’s gold in them thar hills!! That’s what we were told anyway. One of the things I was looking forward to doing in Montana was visiting Virginia/Nevada City. Online it looks so…western! In the pamphlets it all looked like such a unique experience! Well, I was less than impressed with Virginia City or Nevada City. There were …
Our first impressions of Helena is that it’s kind of small and the city is laid out weird. We went to the Capitol Building…it was a lovely dome building! You can see a picture of the inside of the dome in the left photo above. There were several stained glass windows, which were very pretty! …
Today we cross the Canadian border and head to Alaska where we will spend the summer! We have been planning and preparing for this portion of our RV trip for the past year. I’m not sure how often we’ll be able to keep y’all updated on our trip. We’ve heard from several people that wifi throughout …
Hey Y’all! I don’t normally post about the RV parks we stay at, but this one is my favorite so far! The owners were super nice and so helpful with things to see in the area and bonus…we got free ice cream when we arrived!! Besides being one of the cleanest, best organized parks I’ve …
Hey Y’all!! I just wanted to do a quick post to share with you all of the beautiful flowers I’ve been enjoying while here in Montana. I don’t know their names…sorry. I’ve got quite a few pictures and in the interest of not bogging down everyone’s internet connection…I’ve put the pictures into two collages. If …
We recently spent some time in Billings, MT. Billings isn’t a huge metropolis…it only has about 100k residents…but after the teeny tiny towns we’ve been staying in, Billings felt like it was huge! We found an excellent burger place to eat. Although the burgers looked amazing, I opted for one of their house salads. It …
