We woke up this morning to a crystal clear blue sky and the morning sun was glittering in the snow capped mountain peaks of the Northern Yellowstone Mountain Range. What better start in a day one could wish for, as we left Livingston, MT to head further westwards along our good companion Interstate I-90. We reached Missoula, MT around lunch time to head North towards Glacier National Park. Along our way we passed many mountain ranges with snow caps, sign of the snow falls just some days ago. As we leave the Pioneer Mountains, Sapphire Mountains and Big Belt Mountains, we enter the Flathead Indian Reservation. It becomes immediately known, as all names are also expressed in the phonetics of the native language.
Taking a wrong turn brings us around Flathead Lake, along Mission Mountains and several Wilderness Refuge Areas. It also provided a stunning view of the lake and the islands in it.

We closed the day by making camp in Whitefish, MT at the west side of the park, found ourself a good place to eat and some local live music.
