This is the inside of the East Lodge at Glacier National Park. The woodwork on the lodge is amazing and these lanterns were beautiful.
Lake MacDonald
Looking for a good cup of coffee we stopped at the lodge at Lake MacDonald. The lake was very inviting even though it was early and quite chilly. From here we took a drive to Polebridge, over 1.5 hours each way just for a cinnamon roll! We didn’t even have one, we opted for cookies instead! Polebridge is in the northwestern part of the NP and very remote. They don’t even have electricity, only generators and solar. We did stay long enough to travel another 45 minutes to Bowman lake and take a nice walk/hike along the lake.
We stayed an extra day in the area just to visit Whitefish. The brochures said it was a beach town in the middle of Montana. It had lots of shops and very cute but not beachy if you are from the Capitola area! Just sayin. We did stop for a picnic at the lake and they even have a control your dog area on the beach and encourage the dogs to have as much fun as we do. Duke went right into the water and then Paul thru the ball! I wasn’t sure Duke would chase it but he did.
