Hey guys! I'm going to attempt to share some of the photos from my trip with @fullofhope to Glacier National Park here in Montana

Our first day was spent mostly in the car of course. Oh, and did I mention this is the first road trip I've ever done on my own? It was such an adventure. The trip is about 4 and a half hours both ways and goes through some of the most beautiful parts of the country (in my opinion).

We stayed in the sweetest little cabin with more than enough space for the two of us. It had a firepit, a grill, a bunk bed and double bed, a porch swing, and even a fridge. It had air conditioning too, but we never needed to use it because we were away during the hotter parts of the day.

Each evening when we'd get back from exploring we would build a fire and sit around it to cook our food and enjoy the flames. I think that's one of my favorite things about living here in the North West is that the weather is dry and cools off in the evenings. So different from where I grew up in the South. The humidity there seems to hold the heat with unbending willpower so that there's never a break from it, even in the Summer evenings.

We ate lots of soups and I brought oatmeal and some tea. I'll be sharing a little of that in my video soon.

For breakfast I mostly ate lots and lots of fruit because I made sure to bring plenty. I find myself craving so much fruit through these hot days.

So the first day of being there at the park we decided to go white water rafting. Unfortunately I didn't get any photos because we weren't able to take cameras obviously. However, I did take a GoPro and I got some video that I'll be sharing in my video as well. The sad/funny thing was that I recorded the first hour of our trip down the river and then the GoPro died right before we got to the really thrilling stuff. :( But don't worry, it'll still be some cool footage I hope.

After our rafting adventure, we went for a beautiful hike through the forest on a path called Trail of the Cedars. I'd love to tell you that we saw a bear or something, but we didn't. It was just a really magical little path with some amazing looking trees, plants, creeks, and boulders.

This swing looks so amazing. I also have a fond of travelling. Love to see your pictures. I will waiting for your next post..

Greetings, Lady Traveler Travelicious.

Pretty cool this trip you and your sister made. Three things called me a lot of attention in the images made and in the writings. The first is the clear happiness of both of you when you travel to this location. The second is the "hut" where they stayed. Very pretty. Live, I've never seen a hut in this style. I think this should happen in places where there are these types of forest. Here in Brazil I've never seen. Sounds like a movie hut. The third and the coolest is the kind of nature you found in the place.

Traveling and knowing a place like this should be something relaxing and very pleasurable.

Thanks for the lovely posting and good afternoon!!!!

@julisavio I'm so glad you enjoyed this post!

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.

@black14153 Yes, in this post I used a d750 and my d5300

I love that little cabin ! You guys look like you have having a ton fun :)

It's not just your opinion. The mountains from the Idaho Panhandle through Montana are some of the most spectacular scenery to be found on the continent. I drove U.S. Route 2 plus some extra detours through Glacier in 2007, and would gladly drive through there again.

@gringalicious this place is amazing, to judge by the images this will be a very fun camping, the images are beautiful, I loved the forest and the mountains alo far. your cabin does not look bad, breakfast looks delicious
Many grace spor share this beautiful publication
I wish you a happy stay

The first fireside scene does the job.
