For most of the state of Montana we detoured from the Adventure Cycling maps that stay pretty far north on highway 2, a heavily trafficked highway partly as a result of oil business in north-western North Dakota. The route we took was further south along highway 200, to Lewistown and then north-west to join highway 2 near Shelby, MT. That route was the more scenic route and followed some of the Lewis and Clark trails.
We were fortunate enough to have Nate's sister Erica meet us near Glacier and give us a weekend off from biking. The three of us drove into Glacier National Park along Going To The Sun Road and camped and hiked and reveled in the mountains. It was amazing, and I took way too many pictures.
We are now on the west side of the park and back on route. We are at over 2600 miles. Next up, a quick visit to Idaho and onto Washington.
