Excellent.
Glacier is a smoky mess right now. My Dad and I took a spin up over Logan pass from Kalispell. We timed it reasonably well as it had been smoked up and a little overcast, were able to park and take a short hike. The Four Amigos bighorns were right next to the road but neither of us were ready and there wasn't a pull off.
So, watched the tourists feed the gophers, admired the silhouettes of mountains, then drove to St Mary through the fire area. Sunrift Gorge got burned pretty well, on the bright side the fire opened up new lake views. Hopefully it wasn't so hot as to kill the grass, but right now, it's nuked about 40 percent, burned bad about another 40 and 20 percent might keep live trees.
Not a good time to enjoy Glacier if you are not a local.
We then went up to Many Glacier, smoky there too, Sherburne reservoir is WAY down. Hotel is full, however. Then had a nice drive in Dad's hot car down 89 and 49 to East Glacier, then home on 2 over Marias. The Thompson Creek fire was blowing a good column of smoke, which will choke out St Mary again tonight.
