Huge mountains!

Montana is big. Today we rode through Glacier national Park. Logan pass was our goal for the day, it rises 6647' above sea level! The ride was not very challenging, not to brag or anything, but that's also what most other people said too. The scenery from the road was beyond what I am able to describe! The rock faces reach from the valley lake seemingly straight up to the clouds. From the top, it's hard to tell if you are looking at pine trees or moss. The scale is just really difficult to grasp. We did not see any grossly bears on the park after hearing all kinds of bear stories and warning, but we were ready for them. We were equip with bear spray, a pepper spray on grizzly near scale. This stuff shoots a ultra-potent fog for 30 feet and claims to stop the attacker in it's track! Glad we didn't need to use it! It is now just the two of us traveling :( Erik opted to take a more southerly route through the Sierra Cascades. We both miss him but look forward to seeing him in Portland!
