Is The Horse Hungry? – Hungry Horse Reservoir

Posted on by Posted in Scenery, Sightseeing .

We checked out the Hungry Horse Reservoir. We found a spot where we could drive down next to the water. The rocks were so colorful.

We then went over to the Hungry Horse Dam. It is tenth tallest dam in the United States and the third tallest curved dam. It is over 500 feet tall so you know the water is deep. It features a glory hole for when the water level gets too high. The water will flow into the glory hole and drop 490 feet straight down.

Check out the video and let us know what you think.

This is part of our Season 3 Part 2 and was filmed in the second half of 2019.

Are You Lost? The girls were for a bit at the Montana Maze and Amazing Fun Center.

The main attraction is a giant maze that has 2 levels and you are supposed to collected four stamps that spell out MAZE. Then find your way out. It took the girls approximately 45 minutes to accomplish.

They also have mini golf, go carts, bumper boats, and something called Bankshot Basketball.

It was a fun time. Let’s check it out!

REVIEW Emery Bay Campground

Posted on by Posted in Boondocking, Campgrounds .

We chose the Emery Bay Campground primarily because the were no open spots in the Glacier National Park campgrounds for a rig our size. Emery Bay Campground is about 15 minutes from the west entrance to Glacier National Park and is located in the Flathead National Forest .

It does not have very many sites that would accommodate our rig. hehe… we got the last one. It is located on the Hungry Horse Reservoir and even has a boat ramp. It, however, does not have very good access to the water to swim or play. There is a few places not too far away to get in the water. It worked out great for us as a single place to stay that had water access and Glacier National Park close enough to get to easily.

Glacier National Park Going To The Sun Road

Posted on by Posted in Scenery, Sightseeing .

Welcome to Glacier National Park. This is a place full of waterfalls, creeks and, much more. I’m not going to lie, I didn’t like sitting in the truck all day but now I look back and think “wow I really love that place”. I want to thank Mom (Lisa) and Dad (Rick) for taking us to Glacier National Park. One of the things I love is its view, you can spin around and you’ll be amazed by what you see. Its a little scary being up there the ground was so far down. Outside of the park, there were some cows. A mama and 3 babies you can see 2 of the babies in the video. The other baby was still in the trees on the side of the road. Thank you for joining us on this adventure but it is time to go. I’ll catch you in the next one bye bye.

Glacier National Park

Posted on by Posted in Scenery, Sightseeing .

Today, we are exploring Glacier National Park! First, before taking the “Going To The Sun Road”, we visited the visitor center. The visitor center was very informative and also had a gift shop. Plus they had park rangers to help plan what you should see in the park. We took a trail that showed us around the visitor center. We also saw tons of rivers in the park, most of them were pretty deep and blue. You should plan on staying in the park for a while if you want to see most of the things there.
