Since international travel has crawled to almost a halt, I’ve really been enjoying getting to visit the places that have long been on my USA bucket list. Glacier National Park was a relatively new addition but I was so excited to cross it off recently. Best part? It’s…
Located just 45 minutes from Glacier National Park, Whitefish is a charming town full of quaint shops, cafes, and a diverse selection of restaurants. This was the perfect home base for our trip to Glacier as there was no shortage of things to do (and eat!). Here are…
