Day 7: East Glacier to Missoula (about 222 miles)
This is the longest day by far in the car, but there is some magnificent scenery and plenty
of places to stop along the way. From East Glacier, drive southwest on U.S. Highway 2
over
Marias Pass,
then north along the west side of Glacier National Park. As you enter
Columbia Falls, turn south onto Highway 206 and continue on Highway 35 toward Cre-

Seeley-Swan Valley.
You'll pass
Swan and Seeley Lakes,
among others. Time it right and you can stop for an

At Highway 200, continue west back
to Missoula, where you can recall the highlights of your trip over a sustainably grown and
inventive meal at
Red Bird Restaurant.
