After fueling in Conrad, MT, the Four Amigos started into the foothills of Glacier National Park. US 89 enters the Blackfoot Reservation and stays in the reservation all the way to the park. Here we saw more large ranching areas and few people. Passing through the town of Browning was an eye-opener. The four largest buildings were; a church, a pawn shop, a IGA store and a casino. The casino was the newest looking of the lot and the rest of the town's buildings were shabby.
From that point the road became more curvy and hilly. The speed limit on Montana's state highways is 70mph/day-60mph/night. on this section we saw a lot of these.
It also is a good idea to look for livestock anywhere on the road. Several times we passed horses just standing on the shoulder with no one around. They did have brands so were not totally wild.
As we got closer to St. Mary, MT evidence of forest fire damage was on each side of the road and up the hills.
