Escapadita
Montana BIG SKY COUNTRY
Montana has some of the most spectacular scenery and wildlife in the United States and an abundance of wide-open spaces with skies that stretch beyond the imagination . Recently , Southwest Airlines started operations to Montana from San Diego . As a pet friendly airline , we brought our dog Winky on our flight which landed us in Bozeman Montana where adventures awaited us . Nothing but blue skies , forests and majestic beauty was experienced as we visited Glacier National Park . The national park showcases glaciers , alpine meadows , carved valleys , and spectacular lakes . With over 700 miles of hiking trails , we were able to hike many trails , often times without encountering any other people in this mountainous expanse . The famous Going-to-the-Sun Road is a highlight not to be missed as its 50 miles cross the Continental Divide at Logan Pass .
Another majestic part of Montana is found accessed through the town of Libby , where you find the Kootenai National Forest . Here the Kootenai River enters a canyon and flows over Kootenai Falls , one of the largest freeflowing waterfalls in the northwest . A forest trail leads to the Swinging Bridge and makes a nice hike that is not too strenuous with a very thrilling reward ! To the Kootenai tribe , the falls is a sacred site . They view it as the center of the world , a place where tribal members can commune with the spiritual forces that give direction to the tribe and to individual members .
Montana fuels the spirit , sparks curiosity and adventure . Here you will never stop exploring , find inspiration and witness sensational sunsets making it a perfect ESCAPADITA .
