Day 2: Malta to Lolo Hot Springs, MT

After an uneventful start to the day things got a little interesting on highway 87. Approaching vehicles had snow on them and we were starting to see snow on the higher ground around us.

We drove through a bit but never enough for any accumulation on the road.

Soon we were back to perfectly normal conditions and continued our journey down Hwy 87 to hook up with I15 at Great Falls.

We took time out for a scenic overlook on I15.

Approaching Helena.

Traveling mostly off the interstates means that finding this welcome sight is sometimes a little more of a challenge.

Our destination for night 2: The Lodge at Lolo Hot Springs. We enjoyed the spring fed hot tub and a perfectly acceptable dinner at the restaurant next door.

The room was spacious and well-appointed. With no live TV or internet available we relaxed with a movie before bedtime.
