We started the trip later (around 9 am) than we planned (8 am). The drive was quite boring for most part in the Washington State. It became quite interesting when we got to Coeur d'Alene, but then it got boring again all the way through Montana. It was only close to the Park that we started seing the real mountains. We checked in at the motel (West Glacier) and enjoyed the first hike in the park: the Avalanche trail. We were not very impressed with the trail itself, but we ended up in a mountain amphitheater surrounding the Avalanche Lake which was quite breath-taking. On the way back we stopped next to the McDonald Lake to admire the calm water with the tall mountains in the background. We got back to the hotel to get some sleep, wake up early and hit the Going to the Sun Road. Unfortunately, we were not exactly in the middle of the nature (as we expected when we booked the room), so instead of birds chirping we heard drunks yelling at the bar next door, who keept us awake until after 1 am.
