Heading East to Glacier NP

We left North Cascades on Wednesday, the 3rd, and headed east on Washington 20. It was a pretty drive and with almost no traffic. We had planned on taking one week to cover the 600 miles east to Glacier National Park and to stay at some new camping areas.
The first one on our list was Steam Boat Rock State Park, in eastern Washington. It is just down the lake from the mighty Grand Coulee dam. We came in from the northwest and the dam is awfully impressive from that direction. They claim that it is the largest on the Columbia series of dams. The first photo shows Steamboat Rock from our campsite, about 1000 feet high. While the park is pretty, there was no lack of young kids/families at this water oriented park. There must have been 50 kids on our little loop alone. So we said farewell after one night and continued our eastward trek.
The next place on our list was Coeur D'Alene, Idaho, that is located on a lake of the same name. We stayed two nights in a commercial RV park east of town. The annual street fair & Art show was starting when we arrived and the town was packed. We took a tour of the lake that was as informative as it was pretty. The second photo was taken on that tour and is of the Coeur D'Alene Resort. It is one of the nicer resorts there. The suite on the top (18th) floor is said to have a swimming pool cantilevered out from the building, with a glass bottom! Must be quite a view while swimming laps.
Our last stop before getting to Glacier was the town of Missoula, Montana. We stayed here two years ago on our Lewis & Clark trip and liked the town and RV park (Jim & Mary's). The third photo shows Pris, in downtown Missoula, with the University of Montana across the river.
The fruits and vegetables continue to amaze (at least one of us). The raspberries are as large as your thumbs and as sweet as can be. Blueberries are also large and delicious. Huckleberries are everywhere for the picking. Farmer's Markets are loaded with everything you could ask for.
It's been awhile since we have RVed in the summer because of the crowds, but we wanted to beat any hint of snow in the Canadian Rockies. We are finding that reservations in the campgrounds, both private and public, are recommended because of this being the busy season. People are out and on the road.
