Glacier National Park 2024 – Day Eight

Well, we were winding down our trip. And we were getting ready to be home. We typically can go about 8 to 10 days of living out of a suitcase, then we’re ready to be home. And this trip was no exception.

After the incredible time in Glacier, nothing was as spectacular or as beautiful. But we did see some pretty scenery on the way to Yakima. The drive from Couer d’Alene to Yakima is mostly uneventful, boring and nondescript. This was no exception.

Thankfully, we had a second audio book to listen to on the mostly boring drive. The Lincoln Highway. We recommend this one, too.

But we did see the Ginko Petrified Forest along the upper part of the Columbia River on our way in.

We took a short stop for coffee and charging in Hood River, then landed in Portland for the night.
