Bubber Posted March 6, 2009 Share #2 Posted March 6, 2009 You had to talk him into it ?????? All you would had to say to me is "Lets go". Smoke and tire tracks thats all you'd see. Good luck on the trip and above all have fun. Bubber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummer Posted March 6, 2009 Share #3 Posted March 6, 2009 If you go west through Nebraska, look at 20 west out of Casper, through Wind River Canyon and up to Cody, then across the Chief Joseph and Beartooth into Red Lodge, or Billings as a route up toward Glacier. I've never made it to Glacier. I fell in love with the Beartooth and haven't been able to get past it. Someday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will love every moment of it! When are you planning on going? Banff gets pretty crazy in July and August So I would plan end of june or late August. Also keep in mind if youre going to be close to banff area the first week of July ,the Kruisn the kootenays rally is during the first weekend of July and its about an hour north of the US border of Idaho reasonably close to Glacier. Or if youre going to be in the area in mid Sept meet everyone in Cody Wy for the rally in Yellowstone. Hoping to see you around sometime!!!!

Iowawegian Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted March 6, 2009 We are planning on leaving July 11th. Hope to be in Spearfish or Bell Fourche SD the first night. Second night near Butte Montana the 2nd night. Hopefully spending a couple days in the Glacier area then on to Banff!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We live 5 miles south of the Minnesota border, so we will be taking Minnesota Interstate 90 out to Spearfish, jumping onto Hwy 212 up to Billings then heading west to Butte, Montana. Anyone know of a nice campground near Spearfish as that will be our first night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yankeereb Posted March 6, 2009 Share #8 Posted March 6, 2009 There is a KOA camp ground in Spearfish. The tent sites run from $25 to $28 per night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan52577 Posted March 7, 2009 Share #9 Posted March 7, 2009 This site will show you most all camp grounds anywhere. Just zoom in on the area of the map where you want to go. Then you can click on the campground and if it has a web site there will be a link to it also. I use it all the time. Click and save it under your bookmarks, it comes in handy! Have a great time, Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
