After a good nights sleep ( I slept like a log ) and after all my morning chores been done
I headed down Highway 93 towards Whitefish. Passing through the old part of Kalispell,
I lovely small town with buildings not higher then two floors and the church steeples the
highest buildings in town, I stopped at the "Wheat Montana Bakery” to have breakfast.
Real made bread, rolls and cakes and not factory made stuff. A delight.
Having gained new strength I headed further north into Whitefish to see the railway station
by daylight. Situated at the end of the towns high street the lovely timber-style building is
a delight to look at. According to the tour book the nicest on the whole railway line.
Whitefish is like Kalispell a typical, if not stereotypical american midwestern town which
tries very good to keep its old charm.
BTW: both town are proud of their very own micro-breweries. Something which needs to
be tried whilst here.
Just a few miles further north Whitefish Lake needed to be explored. Surrounded by dark
and deep forest the lake is an eldorado for fishing, boating and swimming not to mention
walking.
A good coffee was available in the "MontanaMountain Coffee” before I headed to the
National Parks Information Centre to get more detailed information. It turned out that all the
roads through the park are open again including the “Going-To-The-Sun-Drive”. The ranger
recommended an early start to catch at West Glacier Park Station one of the parks free coaches.
I’ll took his advice as this way I don’t have to drive myself and can fully concentrate of the scenery.
Weather forecast for tomorrow is good: sunny and warm with temperatures around 71-75 F.
All set for tomorrow then !
