Montana Vacations - A stride Back in its history4589095

Our first vacation in Flathead Lake Montana was obviously a trip with our children to Yellowstone Park. The raw nature we witnessed and experienced together brought an amazement beyond the thrills of man-made beauty I have seen in big cities. Buffalo, moose and elk grazing, bubbling pots of hot pools, geysers spraying fountains of domestic hot water and steam above tree tops causing you to wonder to start with site where this tremendous power emanates from, giving rise towards the urge to avoid and witness the source of this natural wonder.

There are the winters in Montana, when our family planned to try snowmobiling at Yellowstone Park and explore the path system beyond your park leading up mountains early in the day through snow-packed trees that stand like popsicles, only these are not man-made sculptures but produced by the raw forces of wind and snow that reveal the project of God's hand. Snowmobiling in West Yellowstone would be a Montana vacation that continued to attract our house back over many years, never growing fed up with the action.

As our youngsters grew older we tried new things, a vacation in Northwest Montana. It began once we travelled from the Mission Valley where Jesuits worked local Indians to found a mission in St Ignatius in 1854. I still remember fondly the Mission Mountains rising majestically towards the east across the Mission Valley of Montana forming the perfect border to frame this remarkable landscape. My heart was inspired from the wonder of God's creation. Then we drove north through Polson and began a trip along Flathead Lake, the most important freshwater lake within the Western Usa.

If we finally reached Glacier Park, the sight of mountain landscapes far exceeded anything I'd ever seen, even just in Yellowstone Park. The walls of mountains in Glacier Park are arranged just like a rock garden with summer flowers adorning their beautiful slopes. The Going-To-The-Sun Road is not an fast highway, but a mountain road that you take some time on as it winds through mountain passages with breathtaking scenes around every turn.

You will find numerous Glacier National Park and Waterton Glacier International Peace Park at a special website having an interactive map and articles compiled by locals describing the attractions and good reputation for Glacier Park in Northwest Montana. The site describes how locals feel about this park and area, "Crown with the Continent." There is also good information on celebrating the 100th anniversary of Glacier Park this year. The name of the site if "Glacier Centennial 2010." You can look to the names from the sites to find them.
