Glacier National Park!

So you may have noticed a new count-down widget on the side of my blog. Well that's because I'm so very excited about the road trip I'll be doing to Glacier National Park in August. Big thank you to Christy who is organizing this trip!

By the way, do any of you have a two person tent I can borrow?

Here's a little more info from the Glacier National Park Information website:

"Glacier National Park was established to protect the area's spectacular scenic values, as characterized by the geologic features of the Rocky Mountains and valleys and the native plant and animal life. The park encompasses approximately 1.4 million acres of wilderness and some of the most beautiful mountain scenery in the western United States. A combination of spectacular scenery, diverse flora and fauna, and relative isolation from major population centers have combined to make Glacier National Park the center of one of the largest and most intact ecosystems in North America.

The general park area was once the homeland of the Blackfoot and Kootenai Indian tribes and many sites in the park are sacred spiritual sites.

There are over 50 glaciers in the park from which it gets its name. There are also over 200 lakes or streams in Glacier.

There are over 730 miles of trails for hikers to enjoy in Glacier National Park."
