St Mary, day 1, body

East Glacier Highway view
Looking at St Mary Valley while driving from Swiftcurrent Valley.

Getting to know Sally (Black) Welder and her husband Terry was extraordinary good luck.

Sally is Hugh and Margaret Black’s daughter.

Hugh and Margaret Black are the ‘origin story’ for St Mary’s commercial existence well before Going-to-the-Sun Road was completed in 1932.

Our St Mary Lodge “West Motel” room is a stone’s throw from where Sally grew up as a child, teen, and eventually marrying Terry after he returned from the Vietnam War and got a Summer job in Glacier National Park.

Swiftcurrent Valley, day 7, body

chocolate chip chip cookies for the oven
We will not get chocolate chip cookies from our oven this month. Doesn’t matter. We will get plenty of other mountainy goodness. Guaranteed.

Swiftcurrent Motor Inn’s location ‘feels like’ chocolate chip cookies baking in our home’s kitchen.

Swiftcurrent Valley’s trails ‘feel like’ chocolate chip cookies baking in our home’s kitchen.

And then there’s eating that first almost too hot to eat chocolate chip cookie.

Thank you Swiftcurrent Motor Inn.
