The last entry for the updated 50-states album pages is about my most recent visit. As I put these photos in the album, I started to leaf through the completed pages. That's when I realized I hadn't posted the other pages!
In early June 2026, I had a conference in Seattle. I decided it would be the perfect chance to take the Empire Builder Amtrak train to Glacier National Park, since it stops just outside the park entrance. You'll see much more about this trip in a few years when we reach that part of my chronology. For now, here are the photos of us at the entrance sign, the iconic Red Buses, and a view of the mountains from Two Medicine Lake, where we took a boat trip with other NPTC folks.
I made this page by copying an idea from the Creative Memories blog. One of the papers in the Explorer collection had a map of the 50 states. I chose to highlight Montana rather than Minnesota, and I think the combination of lakes and mountains worked perfectly for the photos I ended up using. Can you tell I mixed 2 sets of sticker letters to spell out Montana?
