Despite the Park's magnificence and it is special, one can't forget the poor deal that the Black Feet nation got when it was displaced from its traditional lands, to the nearby reservation. Having said that, the Park is a wondrous place and although we could only drive some ten miles along the Road to the Sun, the views of the lake and surrounding mountains were worth the effort. Returning, we stopped off to take photographs and take in the scenery.
At one stop-off, we met and chatted to a lovely German couple (Jurgen and Katia) who, like us, enjoy road-tripping the States. They were travelling in a camper van and had started their journey in Canada. We wished them bon voyage, parted company, and before leaving the park, stopped off at the Sun Point Trail. Absolutely stunning and a place often frequented by bears! We didn't spot any!!
The drive back to Whitefish was straightforward, along a very pretty route, including parts of the Black Feet Reservation. On arrival, we headed down to the Craggy Range Bar and Grill for another great dinner. (The chili dip is incredible!) and as it was Tuesday, the Farmers Market was in full swing ...... we couldn't resist!
We heard a lot of old familiar records en route, today, but Johnny and the Hurricanes have it with "Red River Rock"!
