We had our first, and only, day off of the trip in Glacier National Park. We camped for two nights in the park and had a whole day to enjoy ourselves. We all met up with family for the day and spent time with them exploring the park. We had worried that the weather would be bad, but it was mostly sunny and the temperature was great.
Alyssa met her mom and sister for the day and drove through the park on the Going to the Sun Road. They stopped along the way and took pictures of things they saw in the park.
Jake and I met our parents and grandparents and spent the day doing short hikes in several parts of the park. First thing in the morning we hiked to see an amazing waterfall that was just off the road in East Glacier. On our way to the next hike in Many Glacier we saw a black bear rooting around in the underbrush on the side of the road and saw it run off with something in its mouth. That afternoon we also saw three mountain sheep walking along the path that Jake and I followed at a distance for about half a mile.
We went to bed soon after dinner because we knew that our next morning would be early. The next ride was through the park on the Going to the Sun road and we had to complete almost 50 miles before bikes were kicked off the road at 11:00 am. This meant our wake up time was 3:30 am.
