This past weekend my brother and I took a roadtrip from Great Falls, Montana to Kalispell, MT.
Distance between Great Falls, Montana, United States and Kalispell, Montana, United States, as the crow flies: 149 miles (239 km) (129 nautical miles)
The snow covered mountain peaks were spectacular and many pictures were taken in the van headed toward our destination. We drove through a little section of Glacier National Park along the way.
The question that just came to my mind is -- What is a glacier? Computer research yields these answers -a slowly moving mass of ice, a perennial mass of ice which moves over land. A glacier forms in locations where the mass accumulation of snow and ice exceeds, and a mass of ice formed through the accumulation of multiple years of snow input causing compaction and thus the expulsion of air from within the mass.
It was a quick trip and I was glad we had one good day of sunshine as the return trip home was like a fog hanging above our heads with scattered snow on the roads.
I couldn't help taking pictures of the storefronts, statues, scenery, and culture around us.
This is a picture of Big Mountain Ski area as headed into the town of Whitefish, MT.
On a bit of fun side -- We thought this advertisement might be something to check out on our next adventure to Kalispell.
