On our way from Glacier to Yellowstone

Our drive down from Glacier to Yellowstone went smoothly. We broke it up into two days, staying one night in Helena, MT. The cost of a room with two beds was the same as a suite, so we opted for a suite. It felt very luxurious to have a small sitting area with a couch, chair, and coffee table.

We arrived in Helena in time to do a little sight seeing before dinner. Because it was drizzling, we decided against the open air historic train ride and instead visited the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts. The historic 26 acre site located on the outskirts of town was once the Western Clay Manufacturing Company. They have a couple galleries open, and visitors also can walk the grounds and see some very old beehive kilns used when it was a brickyard.
