After a restful time to end our time in the south with our good friends, we start the journey north in sun. It is a magnificent drive up through northern Arizona and southern Utah, vast spreads of colourful mountains, huge deep gorges, snow-topped mountains in Idaho and finally Montana, then the Big Sky.
Warned of incoming storms, we get lucky and have sun and mainly blue sky. We winterize in southern Utah and spend the next 3 days in hotels in Provo, Idaho Falls and Great Falls. The latter by the rivers so we stop driving early, and take a walk along the banks and enjoy some sun. We wake Apr 14 to sub-zero temperatures, which drop even lower to 27 as we cross the continental divide for the third time in two days. Then down into the beautiful forks of the Missouri river winding through idyllic valleys and gorges - definitely huntin, fishin and shootin country here. The daytime temp climbs to 48, then 55, but with sun it feels better.
