GREAT FALLS, MONTANA

We are now at Great Falls, Montana KOA. We are here to finish our preparations to go to Glacier National Park on Saturday. We will finish the laundry tomorrow and get a few groceries on the way out of town Saturday morning.

Today we went on the River Edge Trail along the Missouri River. We biked about 10 miles. Some on asphalt and some on a mountain bike trail. We went down some steep paths and then back up. It was scary and fun. I felt at one time I was flying in the air. We had a blast.

We also went to Great Spring State Park and saw the smallest river in the country. The Roe River starts from a spring and flows 53 feet into the longest river in the country, the Missouri River. The vegetation in this spring was marvelous. It was so green!

The state park also has a hatchery. They have a cement pond where you can watch large, jumbo size rainbow trout. They were magnificent. There was also some food you can buy for 5 cents and feed the trout. You could reach down and pull one out if you wanted to. What amazing fish.
