RAISE 'em WILD

This summer we decided to take a  trip to Glacier National Park, Montana to take Noah camping for the first time. This was Amanda and Noah's first time to Glacier, even tho the Going to the Sun Road was close we still had a really good time. Glacier's mountains are so rugged with beautiful waterfalls and spectacular lakes. I can see why the Blackfeet indians called this place, "The Backbone of the World."
We only spent four days in the park and felt like we could have stayed at lease a month.
"Give a month at least to this precious reserve. The time will not be taken from the sum of your life. Instead of shortening, it will indefinitely lengthen it and will make you truly immortal." -John Muir.


Here are some photos from our time spent there. Enjoy.

 Going to the Sun Road was close so we decided to ride our bikes, which turned out to be much more enjoyable then seeing it from the car.

One morning we woke up to a momma bear and her cub right outside of our tent.
