Glacier National Park http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacier_National_Park_%28U.S.%29 was only an hours drive from Polsun where we had stayed the previous night. All the camping in Glacier is "dry" meaning no hook ups power or water and are allocated on a first come first served basis. We arrived early hoping to get a spot and were rewarded with a nice big space by a lake at a cost of only $10!

We ditched the Eagle and drove up the "going to the sun highway" to get great views of the park. The road is spectacular, especially since it was constructed in 1932, you can see in the photos that it is under major repair at the moment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going-to-the-Sun_Road

We spent the evening watching the long sunset on the beach at the lake, Brent braved the cold and amazingly clear water to get soe great photos. Toby stayed on the beach!
