As the Many
Glacier Lake was not so great and next sightseeng cruise was scheduled
many hours later, they headed to west entrance of the park to go to Lake
McDonald, through East Glacier Park, where
they stayed last night and local highway-2 which runs south of the park.
Though highway-2 was a local road, the speed limit was 70 mph and they
could reach Lake McDonald by 2:30 PM, one hour earlier than the next
cruise departure time. They relaxed for an hour at the lounge of the
"Lake McDonald Lodge" there taking a cup of coffee to wait the
cruise time and took 3:30 PM cruise which sailed about an hour about half
way of this largest and long lake in the park. The cruise itself was
disappointing as all they could see was water and same trees only all the
way for an hour. After the cruise, they finished the sightseeing of the
park and drove west looking for the motel to stay the night. They found
Holiday Inn at a small city of Whitefish not too far from the park and
stayed the night there.
