north

first it was time for family.  then it was time to follow the high line west. now it is time to head north.  with due apologies to Ft Benton and to moderately impressive geographic features in Saskatchewan, we are off to glacier park, to calgary, and to jasper via the mountain path.  we stayed last night at the laquinta in great falls, right on the green belt next to the river.  we spent some time at the national parks interpretive center located just downstream of the power dam on the river, and just upstream of warm springs.  we walked to the warm springs which are a year round constant temperature of 54 degrees.  I guess warm water was a relative thing when wintering in montana in the early 1800's.  today we visit the charles russell museum, gather a few supplies, and head to the high season at glacier park. hope there is a campsite for us.
