(Clem, Glenn, Keith, collectively, 144 miles) Hungry Horse e is a little burg straddling busy Hwy 2. It was named after a coupla nags who broke loose from a pack string early in the winter of 1900 and were found in a snow bank, starving. It’s also the home of the Hungry Horse News, the only Montana paper ever to win a Pulitzer Prize (for editor Mel Ruder’s coverage of a disastrous flood in 1965). We started out there in the up-and-down bike path leading to West Glacier, entered the park, then took the even hillier Camas Road over to the North Fork of the Flathead River before turning around as the road from there ( to Canada if you turn right)
is gravel and dirt. Smoky skies cast a pall over the fall leaves but it was still a beautiful ride. On the way home we stopped at the Laughing Horse in Swan Lake and had a delicious restaurant meal al fresco.
Looks like a great ride. It's also hazy here in Madison. Sure wish those in California would rake their forests.
