The Crown Jewel

The northern Rocky Mountains adorn the High Plains of Montana like a crown, and Glacier National Park is its crown jewel.

Razor-tooth mountains and a glassy lake welcome Fred and Wilma back to Bedrock. Jaw-dropping mountainscapes surround Barney and Betty as they make up camp in the heart of grizzly country.

After a brief rainstorm that gave way to rainbows, Homer and Marge listened to a speaker from the Blackfeet nation, and they called it an early evening to rest for tomorrow’s activities. Morning broke like eggs on a griddle – wind sizzling and the sun popping. George and Judy Jetson set out for Jackson Glacier Overlook, and they hiked the St. Mary’s/Virginia Falls Trail.

Gorgeous cascades of waterfalls and pristine forest rewarded Boris and Natasha. After a picnic, Duke and Lady Jay hiked to Sunpoint – the windiest place on Earth- for a spectacular view of Chief Mountain and St. Mary Lake.

Batman and Catwoman steered the Batmobile towards camp when a traffic jam snarled Going to the Sun Road. No batsignal, no call from Robin – what emergency awaits? A black bear who can be black, brown, or honey colored had wondered at onto the road, and the park’s visitors stopped to photograph the cuddly bear.

A brief trip to the Many Glacier section of the park revealed rugged mountains dotted with cool whip glaciers. He-man and She-ra spent the evening listening to a Park Ranger regale the pair with legends of the wolverine. A brief sleep before a long travel day to Bend, Oregon and Crater Lake.
