Remedies Day Spa and the Taproom at the Belton Chalet - West Glacier

Two days into our Glacier trip my boyfriend and I found ourselves sitting at a beautiful bar called the Taproom attached to the Belton restaurant. We were chatting with the bartender when a couple walked up and asked her about the spa treatments available at the Belton Chalet. My boyfriend’s interest was immediate.

Lang Creek Brewery - Marion Montana

I love brewery tours, mostly because of the beer at the end of the tour. I’ve been on the Kokanee brewery tour so many times that the staff actually recognized my friend and I the last time we went.

Driving Montana’s Scenic Highway 56

I climbed down the steep hill for a few feet and decided the path was a little more than I could handle and I headed back, so I still have not seen the falls. We got back on the highway and continued to head home. Although we had a few mishaps, like not being able to find the falls and that darn eagle flying away, it was an enjoyable drive with lots of beauty. If you are interested in driving the highway 56 you can connect from highway 2 east of Troy or highway 200 west of Noxon. The highway is about 35 miles in length.

The buses are called Red Jammers because they originally had manual transmissions and the drivers could be heard jamming the gears as they drove around the park.
