Glacier National Park to Lake Superior


Itinerary: Stage 2: Glacier N.P. to Lake Superior, MN

We will leave the Rockies and head out onto the broad plains of mid- America, crossing Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota using US Highway 2 as our main route. We will deviate at times to take in sights or particularly interesting or scenic routes. These include places like Fort Union Trading Post NHP (http://www.nps.gov/fous/index.htm) at the Montana-North Dakota border; and the north bank of the Missouri River in North Dakota where we travel partially in the footsteps of Lewis & Clark & Sakakawea. We expect to see endless fields of corn and grain and we travel from one farm town to the next. Finally we break out of this terrain, skirt Duluth to the north, and end up on what is reported to be one of the world's great scenic drive....the north shore route from Duluth to Thunder Bay, Ontario.

Next: Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland & Labrador, then Prince Edward Island before returning to the states in Maine.
