It is definitely the type of road that we love to drive.<br /><br />I would have our doubts as to whether the trolley tour would be running or not and to be perfectly honest even if it was I am not sure we would do it as it would be too confined for us with people, which we have been doing a good job of avoiding as much as possible. We will see how things go as we move along, things are constantly changing.

We saw people with smaller motor homes, but make sure to check if you think it is for you. Also, the town of Butte has a very interesting history. We really enjoyed the Chamber of Commerce trolley tour they had. Missoula has a great smoke jumper museum. Of course, don't know if any of these are open.<br />RV Khronicles of Kevelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612195786405870520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-41824448718094674802020-05-22T16:35:13.517-04:002020-05-22T16:35:13.517-04:00Lol, we thought the same thing one time in Arizona...Lol, we thought the same thing one time in Arizona when we saw a sign saying National Forest and all we saw were cactus. :-P<br /><br />Utah is definitely one of our favourite states as well, although we are really loving New Mexico and I know that we will also enjoy Wyoming and Montana. Not sure if any of the National Parks will be open when we head through though! :-(Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-19927646754656674542020-05-22T15:58:27.978-04:002020-05-22T15:58:27.978-04:00I get a kick out of what is called a National Fore...I get a kick out of what is called a National Forest in the west. Much different than the forests we were used to in Wisconsin. Still, lots of beautiful scenery everywhere! Utah is one of my favorite states to visit. The National Parks there are incredible!!!RV Khronicles of Kevelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612195786405870520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-60288499849515088202020-05-22T11:51:38.035-04:002020-05-22T11:51:38.035-04:00I didn't have any issue with them.

This has certainly given us time to explore places that we don't normally have the time to see because we are always trying to get back to Canada for the beginning of May. <br /><br />We are loving New Mexico but we know that we are going to enjoy Utah, Wyoming and Montana just as much. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-48866948606221703772020-05-22T11:28:44.094-04:002020-05-22T11:28:44.094-04:00Thanks for the heads up on this hike, it looks ama...Thanks for the heads up on this hike, it looks amazing.
