Sunday, 27 May 2018 – Travel Day to West Glacier Montana

A nice view of the mountains from our spot in the nice KOA campground.
Nice outside dining at the Belton Chalet just outside the entrance to Glacier National Park.

It turns out the casino last night was pretty quiet after 11pm when traffic started dying down. We got up at our normal time and headed for the West Glacier KOA Campground. In general we aren’t big fans of KOAs but it seemed like best option when searching the area. While the drive from Seattle to Spokane was 2/3’s desert and not very interesting, the drive from Spokane to Glacier was beautiful. I am pleased to report the coach did not stutter through mountains. I guess I bought the fuel filter just in time! The RV park is very attractive. It is filled with children today. The campground assigned us a spot backing up against unpopulated forest and away from most of the other campers. It suits us very well. We have a beautiful view of the mountains out of our front windshield. Once we got the coach set up it was dinner time. We are near the town of West Glacier and just outside the entrance to the National Park. We traveled to nearby West Glacier and stopped at one of the first restaurants we came to, Belton Chalet. It looked from the outside like it would be standard pub fare but turned out to be fine dining. We sat outside in beautiful weather with wonderful views of the mountains. The steak was excellent but pricey and not really what we had planned. Afterward we treated ourselves to an ice cream cone from the local West Glacier cafe.
