Montana- Day 4 Glacier NP (Lake McDonald)

 Next stop, Lake McDonald Lodge...

We found parking and did a bit of exploring around the area. The historic Swiss chalet style lodge was very pretty both inside and out...








When we walked out the back door to the lake side, it was quite windy and the lake was quite rough. While it made kayaking less appealing, we decided to give the boat tour a go instead... 















Just before leaving the park, we stopped at Apgar Village for dinner on the lake...



While relaxing at the lake, I finally realized that my right foot didn't feel quite right. That was because hiking for miles in cheap socks and tennis shoes was a really bad idea and I had a quarter-sized blister on the bottom of my foot to prove it. :(

I forgot to bring our blister first aid kit and made the decision to go into Whitefish to Walgreens. Then while we were there, I also made the decision to make a stop downtown at Jeremiah Johnson brewery for a flight and then a quick stop at DQ for a salted caramel truffle Blizzard. The Blizzard was disappointing, the beer was not...
