KIRA PACKING IN THE MORNING.JPG (275086 bytes)Today was another fairly big day of driving.  Unfortunately (or fortunately for you), we didn't take many pictures.  We packed up from our room and hit the road.

The drive through Montana is beautiful, however, our pictures don't quite capture the scenery.

gallatin.jpg (9435 bytes)We ended up at the Gallatin Gateway Inn, a huge hotel almost in the middle of nowhere.  The Inn was built by the railroad back in the days when they were trying to lure people off the mainline to stay in Montana.  With the fade of rail travel, the Inn slowly slipped away.  However, with more people skiing in nearby Big Sky, the Inn is starting to pick back up.  It is a beautiful building with nice rooms and good service.

AFTER THE BIKE RIDE (THIS LOOKS LIKE I FEEL).JPG (216861 bytes)We ended the day with a bike ride and then crawled tired into bed.  Tomorrow -- Yellowstone!
