We camped both to the west and east of Great Falls, Montana, as we continue to work our way through the state — heading eastward toward North Dakota. We spent a few nights northwest of the city in the cute little town of Shelby, and later spent a few nights
Glacier National Park, the 16th national park we have visited on this trip, but first in our hearts… because it was the first national park we visited together — and a perfect long weekend of nature, fun, and love. But that was then (back in November 2016), and Going-to-the-Sun Road
