Day 4 - Yellowstone to Glacier

Day 4 –

One last morning in Yellowstone is fairly truncated, as warm oatmeal gets us on our way in relatively short order and camp is broken and stowed in the bowels of the car carrier. We have decided on a fairly nonchalant, but not quite meandering route up to Glacier National Park by way of state highways rather than the big freeways. Lunch is had out of the cooler at Seeley Lake, and we arrive at the park gates around 4:30.


Up until this point we have not exactly landed on which side of the park that we will commit to in spending our time. A conversation with a friendly ranger named Robin Robinson prods us to head east, so that is what we do. The only problem is that the only way to get to that side of the park is via the long, circumferencing road along the perimeter of the park, the as the bisecting Going to the Sun Road is still closed from snowpack. A little more than an hour later we find a decent looking campsite at two Medicine Lake, and make camp and dinner.
