Glacier National Park to Whitefish, Montana



The hiatus from bicycling and time spent in the grandeur of Glacier National Park was a welcome relief. Dealing with a broken bicycle was not nearly as much fun. Thanks to Russell Bicycles I received my bicycle wheel on time (actually early), was able to install it and get going earlier than expected.  Running out late in the day, I was told that I would have to take the shuttle to Logan Pass due to road construction.  After going over four passes the day prior, this didn't bother me a bit. Going down the western slope of Logan Pass presented 20 miles of ecstasy, unimaginable vistas, and a glimpse into God's creations at its grandest. The journey down approached that of a spiritual experience as I soared from the mountain peaks astride my bicycle, gliding through the turns, until I reached the valley below. I can say sincerely, I have never had a ride as exhilarating.
