Day 75 Big Fork, Montana to Glacier National Park, Montana 110km

Today was one of the most scenic days of our trip so far. We had some lovely picturesque and quite roads on our approach to Glacier. We had an issue with Olga's tyre as there is a hole starting to appear. With no bike shop around and after some deliberation we decided to push on into Glacier. The views in Glacier  are absolutely amazing. It is easily the most impressive national park we have visited. Shortly after entering the park we saw our first bear. He just appeared out of the trees and crossed the road less than 20 meters in front of us. After briefly stopping to stare at us he trotted into the trees again. After the initial shock wore off we were delighted. It was definitely one of the highlights of this trip.

Olga and Ulrike are going to stay with us for a few more days and are going to cross into Canada with us. They are great company and are teaching us a lot about camping.
