Day 2 - Train Day

Day 2 - Train Day

Today has consisted of gazing out into the wide open expanses of North Dakota and the big sky country of Montana.  Rain fell during the latter half of the day, as the scenery outside began to transition from a flat plain to a hilly start of the mountains.

It really is hard to fathom how much open space there is, especially in the vast state of Montana.  My siblings can attest to that.  A childhood road trip involved our car overheating in Montana - twice.  Riding a train or passing through by car is a good way to appreciate the expanse, but I suspect riding through on my bike will help me truly appreciate the environment I traverse.

Passed through Glacier National Park in the late evening.

Here is an image from Cut Bank, MT.  This town truly had a reason for its name.
