Symi at the Dog Show

In Bozeman while Dad was out mountain biking with Corey, Mum and I went to a dog show. We were invited by Jeannie who is the wife of Corey. 

Bozeman: Hidden Gem

Bozeman RV camping with shuttle vehicle. Thanks Corey!

We had never heard of Bozeman before I ran into Corey Biggers in Oakridge, Oregon. We exchanged a few photos we took on the Alpine Trail and he raved about some alpine riding in a place called Lionhead.

Glacier National Park: Part 2

Warning – get your coffee now – this is a long post. We loved Glacier NP. It was extremely hard to narrow down the photos to choose.

On a wet Thursday morning we left Whitefish and drove over the continental divide to the Two medicine area of Glacier National Park. We arrived and easily secured a campsite in the wet conditions. It was also cold, the temperature did not go above 10ᵒC for the next two days! The campsite was next to a beautiful lake and mountains, unfortunately the mountain were to stay behind the clouds. After the usual school work, we set off on a short walk to Appistoki Falls. It was nice to get out of the RV and stretch the legs.

Either get wet or cabin fever!

Next morning the weather had not really changed, but we set off again on a ranger led walk to Aster Falls then onto Aster Park. We shouldn’t have worried no one would turn up, we ended up having a group of over

ten. It’s not just the Wallers’ who walk in the rain!

Alpine Slide

Yesterday Mum and I went on an alpine slide at Big Mountain in Montana. We had been working hard doing school work while dad was zipping down the trails on his mountain bike. We decided to reward ourselves with some fun.

After we bought tickets we got in the queue for the slide, which has sleds and is like a luge track. We sat on the sleds and waited at the top with anticipation. I had that funny feeling where you are scared but exited at the same time.

Glacier National Park



Glacier National Park is large and crosses the border into Canada. The Continental Divide runs through the park, as does the Hudson Bay Divide. You could hike to Triple Divide Peak and throw water on the top and it would flow north, west and south. Those with small vehicles are able to drive over the Continental Divide in the park on the spectacular Going to the Sun Road (GTTSR). Those with 29ft RVs have to go around.

We decided to start on the West Glacier side of the park. As we were a little unsure about being able to get a campsite late in the day we spent the night at Whitefish where we were able to get provisions and charge up our electrical items. We left early in the morning and pulled into the Apgar campground before 8am the next morning to a choice of a few campsites. Our neighbours Pat and Alex, who are retired and have put what they own into storage and are travelling around seeing this great country with a tent, very nicely gave us the more level site out of the two they were considering.
