Glacier National Park. I've read the series Death in the National Parks and I know there are more bear killings here than any other place. I have yet to see a bear anywhere! I spoke to one woman who said they've seen bears not only in this park, but also Yellowstone! I haven't seen one bear!
Montana in general has the most beautiful views with an endless supply of rivers, lakes and creeks. Crystal clear, babbling or raging fueled by snow melts. The landscape is green pines with emerald green fields. The whole state looks like a park. And then there are the parks. Glacier National Park had such clean, crispy air with a hint of warm pine. So beautiful...but no bears!

I camped up an isolated road. Not great, but relatively private except for the pickups going up and down the road. There were so many other locations I could have stayed, but without internet I didn't know about them until I continued the next morning down the highway. That's the problem with these online free camping sites...you have to plan ahead because once you are there, without internet if the location is not to your liking, there is no way to know if there is something better. The problem with these outback locations is I'm afraid to go for a walk or hike for fear of meeting a bear face to face. I long to see them on the side of a road or at a distance, but up close and personal...no thanks!
I love Montana!
