Throughout Idaho and Montana there were a handful of towns, sites and parks that were recommended to us by our friend Ben, and ones we had wanted to check out - unfortunately most of the parks’ roads were not cleared of their winter snow and it was still quite cold. Crater of the Moon, Yellowstone and Glacier National Park were all put on the “next time” list (which is now quite long).
The Volvo may not like the hike up through the Rockies, but we did – it was really gorgeous. We stopped in Missoula to stretch out legs and grab some lunch. After a chilly-but-refreshing hike along the Clark Fork River and some lunch at Food For Thought we were back on the road.
Abandoned boots on the river.
We spent the night in Billings, and had our first couchsurfer.com experience! John, our host, was a really great guy and we really appreciate him letting us crash their for a night. We had planned on two nights, but as I had mentioned earlier, the snow and closed roads made us rethink our Yellowstone plans and head for The Badlands in South Dakota. It was in the sixties there!
