We are now in Glacier National Park, and I have to say that I think I prefer this park over Yellowstone for several reasons. First, the number of people here is much more reasonable. I no longer feel like I am at Disneyland, and the traffic on the roads is much lighter. Second, the food is so much better. There is actual taste to the food here, and I would recommend both of the places we have eaten so far, the Whistle Stop and the Dining Room at the Glacier Lodge. Both were yummy. Third, the views are at least as amazing, and without the crowds considerably more enjoyable. Finally, it seems easier to get decent lodging here. We were unable to get a night in a lodge at Yellowstone even though we planned this trip quite a bit in advance while here at Glacier we have 3 nights in a lodge. We were not able to get all 5 nights that we will be here, but 3 is better than none.
Today, we did a short hike to a beautiful waterfall and then canoed across Two Medicine Lake. The views were breathtaking. The experience was further enhanced by the fact that this was Jenny's first time in a canoe, and she was smiling almost the entire time. Definitely one of those priceless moments. We will go back to that lake area to do some additional hiking. We are both eager to see more of this beautiful area.
