Day 14 Kalispell to Lake McDonald

36.9 miles, 1266 Feet. The route out of Kalispell was along nice quiet roads with some gravel. There was more big sky scenery with mountains looming before us as we approach Glacier National Park.

We had a nice lunch at Eddy's right on Lake McDonald. Our overnight for tonight and tomorrow night is in Columbia Falls which is about 15 miles from the park. Unfortunately we will not be able to do the entire Road to the Sun as the section through Logan Pass is still closed. It is open to cyclists on the weekends, but during the week the snow plows are still working on the road.
