Day 2 - Saturday (7/23)


On Saturday we drove about 13 or 14 hours to Great Falls, Montana, the largest city south of Glacier National Park. We choose this city as it was large and at about the maximum that I like to drive in one day.  Much of this trip was across sections of Montana where it’s just ranch land and nothing else.  Really, really nothing!!  We were off I-94 most of the time as this was the most direct route for us. You could drive as fast as you wanted. I’d get concerned that I’d not find anything so I’d buy gas at each town I found so that I would not run out. In this section of the state, we could drive very long stretches without seeing another car (actually truck, since everyone in Montana drives a truck). We stayed in a Best Western Plus hotel that night as we got into town very late and wanted to get going as fast as possible the next morning.
