MONTANA / Day 2
Today we left Spokane Washington and headed east to Montana, passing through Idaho along the way. Idaho was really stunning with dramatic mountains, lakes and seas of pine trees. Unfortunately though I was driving so no pictures for now. When we finally made it into Montana (only 2-2.5 hours in) we pulled into a rest stop and I grabbed some shots, including some fuzzy caterpillars that were climbing around on the rocks. After we made it to Missoula, our destination for today, we walked around downtown which while not quite as wonderful as Spokane, had a really great small-town vibe to it. Calm, open and laid back but without ever giving off that "ghost town"/"trapped-in-the-past" feeling. Definitely wouldn't mind revisiting, especially with a bike since cycling seems to be pretty popular here.
