Return to Helena and night in Choteau

After the Gates of the Mountains, we returned to Helena for gas, dinner, and to visit the Cathedral of St. Helena.

We then headed up towards Glacier National Park stopping in Choteau for the night. Here we stayed at the Stage Stop Inn. If you are ever in the area, we can highly recommend it. The room was more spacious than most. They had two luggage stands instead of one. The WiFi was very fast. We were able to do our laundry, and we vied over who was going to sit in the comfy, black leather lazy boy chair.

For dinner that night we ate at the restaurant next door, the Elk Country Grill. We were both eligible for the "seniors" menu. We each had 3 shrimp, corn on the cob, a large baked potatoes, and a cup of delicious broccoli cheddar soup for under $10 a piece.

The next morning we visited the Old Trail Museum which is small, but worth a visit if you are in the area.
