You guys are going to love it! We saw mountain goats around Logan's Pass, on the trail that starts across from the visitor center. I can't remember how many miles that one is, but there seem to be goats around it pretty often. We saw the big horn sheep on going to the sun road above Logan's Pass, and the grizzly bear was in a meadow just beyond Two Dog Flats, but before you get to the St Mary's area. There were actually 2 grizzlies active in that area, and there was another area that had a mother black bear and 2 cubs that were pretty active, but I never could pin down the location.
I got engaged on Two Medicine Lake while there!! In a kayak of all things. lol
Where are you guys staying? We stayed in a cabin outside of Whitefish.
Oh, go to the tiny town of Polebridge. It's an awful bumpy drive up there, but it's worth it. Get something from the general store's bakery, go to Bowman Lake (beautiful!!), then return to have a meal at the saloon. Tell Alan, one of the owners, that Johnnie and Mitch from Texas sent you. Order his signature drink, the Rainbow Peak, and just enjoy. The food is good and the drinks are good, but the service is terrible unless Alan himself is waiting on you..lol. They serve prime rib on Fridays, but the other food is delicious too.
This is an "au gratin" from Polebridge's bakery. It is savory bread pastry with polenta, cheeses, bacon, and chives. #todiefor
This is Alan with his signature drink
If you guys get to Whitefish, try out the chocolate shop, Copperleaf Chocolatier.
And eat at the Stillwater Fish House
From Two Dog Flats inside Glacier (ribeye crustini appetizer)
Bears are so common in those ranges (both grizzly and black) and it's rare to NOT see one during a summer or fall trip.
