This morning we decided to try to clean the thousands of crusted bugs off the front of the RV. Bugs from Michigan and Minnesota especially plastered themselves for their last ride on the front of the Winnebago. A neighboring camper suggested LA's Awesome cleaner from the Dollar Tree. We didn't have the soap cleaner, but did have the orange one. It worked great: spray, let it sit, wipe the bugs off:
one of the less glamorous aspects of Rving.
With that done, we headed for the site of today's hike: Logan Pass, in the middle of Glacier National Park. We arrived via the Going to the Sun Road. If you have never driven it, we highly recommend putting it on your bucket list. The word "spectacular" does not do it justice. The Highline Trail runs
along a ridge for 11 miles, and delivers incredible views all along the way. It is a

relatively easy walk, although for those averse to heights, there are a few places where the trail runs close to the edge of the steep mountain. For the most part, the views are breathtaking. We did encounter mountain goats and a friendly marmot on the trail. On the way back, thunder rumbled and it started to rain. As the wind picked up, the rain turned to something like sleet, but thanks to a wind at our backs, only our backs (and heads) got wet. Nevertheless, this was an unbelievably beautiful trail, and we'll be back.
