FLATHEAD LAKE + BIGHORN NATIONAL FOREST…wow!

โ€œListening to my intuition paid off, because it was the coolest surprise on the entire road trip. Itโ€™s such a GORGEOUS hidden gem!โ€

Paddle boarding on Flathead Lake, hiking Tongue River Canyon in Bighorn National Forest Wyoming, Bambi running around the backyard, delicious BBQ, + spacious cabin.
What else could a girl ask for?
Iโ€™ll tell you. Not a thing.

Montana + Wyoming ROCKED!

We didnโ€™t have time to venture into Flathead National Forest from Lakeside, but it looks epic!
Flathead Lake alone is MASSIVE!
Renting a boat there would be a stellar move. Just sayin.ย 

As for Bighorn National Forestโ€ฆit blew my mind!
Iโ€™d never heard of it before, noticed it on Google Maps, and thought, โ€œwhy not?โ€
Listening to my intuition paid off, because it was the coolest surprise on the entire road trip.
Itโ€™s such a GORGEOUS hidden gem!
And, we only saw a fraction of it.
I wanted to do 3 different waterfall hikesโ€ฆ
But, Tongue River Canyon was the closest to our predefined driving route.

It didnโ€™t disappoint either.
The campground and trailhead are hard to find which added to the mystique IMO.
Hearing the water rush by was so calming + peaceful.

Helpful reminder, donโ€™t forget to download an offline map of the area on Google Maps.
And, bring a hat, sunscreen + lots of water.

If weโ€™re ever up that way again, Iโ€™d go back in an instant.
Check it out for yourself in this weekโ€™s video, + let me know what you think.
