Rout 2 - ND to MT

[BandJ]

Has anyone traveled Route 2 from Minot North Dekota to Glasier National park in Montana ? I would like to know is it a good road pulling a 5th wheel and any information on camping...

Thank you

Yes. We did it last year. Would do it again, not much traffic and we thought a very smooth road. Lots of Lewis and Clark Historical markers along the way too. But the down side would be lack of gas stations so keep an eye on your gages. Stacy

We did that route in the summer of 2005 from Glacier to Minnesota. We found it a very refreshing route to take and did not have any problems with the Tana on it. There are many campsites along the way and the only place we had a problem was in Minot, ND. We came through there at the same time as the FMCA rally. Not a spot to be had but at the Casino. Even that was crowded.

Thank you, we plan on the same trip only starting in Minnesota and going to Glacier.

Hope you like trains Hwy 2 follows the BNSF North Line route runs around 50-60 a day. Spent 6 months working along there from Havre to Whitefish back in 2003. When you plan your stay, if you have time, stay on both sides of the park to enjoy it the best. Remember you cannot take your rig over the pass from St.Marys to West Glacier. Staying on the East side will give you an easy days access to Waterton park in Alberta. Cut Bank, MT is about the last place to pick up supplies so make sure you are stocked up on everything because the next major shopping will be the tri-city area of Columbia Falls, Whitefish and Kalispel. Watch your fuel, stations are far apart in the area. Save your $$ on the bear bells cause in MT they are called dinner bells...... for the Griz....

Of all the places I have spent time Glacier is still number 1 on my list.

One more thing flip a coin to see who gets to drive the "Going to the Sun hwy" and have a laugh! Or better yet try the Red Bus Tour!

Safe travels and please say hi to the park for me.......Miss it!

September could be very chilly; take some long underwear with you! After living in MT for almost 15 years, Glacier still takes my breath away. Prettiest place on earth...
