After visiting Two-Medicine Lake, we continued on our little journey with the map we got from the curio shop owner. We found a place to park and hiked up to a secluded place where we found a waterfall unlike I've ever seen - Running Eagle Falls. During the spring time, there are two flowing falls, one from inside (as photographed) and one over top. During the fall, only the inner waterfall is flowing.
Before heading back West to Whitefish, we drove on a winding road with aspen forests surrounding each side. It was beautiful and refreshing, a relaxing way to end our adventure for the day.
"The Story of Running Eagle:
Running Eagle lived many years ago, long before European contact in the early 1700's. She was born here in the heart-land of the Amskapi-Pikuni, next to the shining mountains. Running Eagle was a real mortal person, not mythical.
Running Eagle's life story is an illustrious saga of leadership and many victories that are famous to this day.
The story of her life was told by Pikuni elders in a true oral traditional manner. Running Eagle is the only young woman of the Pikuni people to have gone on a four day fast; to suffer, dream, pray and find her medicine. High above the beautiful falls, her vision was successful. This is a most sacred and respected site, named in her honor by the Pikuni people. In those early days, only young men of certain societies had the special privilege to fast and receive their power.
Running Eagle became a true woman warrior for courage and bravery in all her accomplishments and deeds. Running Eagle was a great horsewoman, a fast runner and excellent hunter. She was kind, thoughtful, and a generous person. With precise perfection, Running Eagle made everything, including her spear, quiver, bows & arrows, all of her horse accouterments of those days. She was out-standing in her warrior-woman attirement of white buck-skin decorated with dyed quill work. She wore a splendid straight up eagle feather war bonnet and carried a shield.
The true exciting stories of her prowess on war parties, raids, adventures, and counting coup unfolded many times in lodges throughout the land. In the time of her teenage years, Running Eagle became the head of her father's painted lodge after his death. It was then she raised her brothers and sisters, and took care of the extended family in accordance with Pikuni laws and traditions.
Running Eagle was a tall and beautiful woman, with long black braids, and walked a straight religious path with grace, pride, and honor. Near her 30th year, Running Eagle went on her last raid across the Continental Divide where she was killed by the Flathead in their territory.
The Pikuni warriors brought her back up to Upper Two Medicine Lake and buried her in a tree on the mountain overlooking the falls. The Pikuni people hold Running Eagle in very high esteem for her knowledge and wisdom, and the inspiring person she became."

Our latest adventure: Tennessee and the Great Smoky Mountains!
Mom and I drove 9 hours to a bed & breakfast, Berry Springs Lodge, in Sevierville. We arrived in the late afternoon and unpacked. We were absolutely amazed by the view from our private balcony and how lovely the lodge was.
After we finished unloading, we rode around the town to scout out some places for the coming days. Back at the lodge, we ate some dinner, relaxed in the hot tub, and got ourselves ready for bed.
Before we fell asleep, Mom wondered what direction our balcony faced, in hopes that we could see the sunrise the next morning, and sure enough - we were facing east!
We woke up early the next morning and sat on the balcony, watching the light shift from a pale peach to a deep orange, spanning across all the clouds in the sky.
- Day Six -
Day five was full of whitewater rafting, eating, taking long rides searching for wildlife, and enjoying our last full day in Montana.
Although day six was busy and departure was upon us, we did some last minute exploring. We revisited some old places and stumbled on new gems as well. Firstly, we drove down to Whitefish Lake where it all began.
We took the same path where we first saw Montana water. The woods and the shoreline felt more similar and special this time around. Instead of coming, we were going. It was a special goodbye, considering I did not have my camera with me most of the first day (it was charging back at the lodge!) Every breath and step I took reminded me of a few days prior, except this time, I was reminiscing on everything we had seen and how wonderful of a trip we had. Whitefish Lake was a beautiful introduction to what were were about to experience and it was a very fitting outro of our time spent here.
While five days is too short to properly explore the Faroe Islands, we lucked out with spectacular weather that made taking in the country's dramatic landscapes an absolute pleasure. While people often talk about the Faroe Islands as being very similar to Iceland, Scotland or Norway the truth is it is its own distinct destination with raw shoreline and distinct geological formations that make it truly unique to experience and explore.

We started our day early and headed east towards Glacier National Park. Instead of taking the main road to the entrance, I suggested driving the longer way around to explore, why not? We are glad we took the path less traveled because we saw some awesome sights all around the Apgar Mountains!

Finally taking the time for myself to gather, edit, and organize years of untouched photographs.
This lovely lady was hard at work serenading the passing vans filled with tourists for a quick buck. An american dollar is equivalent to almost twenty in their country. There was a little boy further back up the road. We ended up giving a dollar to a younger girl before him and we drove right by the boy. Looking back I saw him get frustrated that the girl got money and he didn't and he kicked over something near by so I had our guide stop the van so we could run back and give him a dollar too! :)

We left the highest point, Clingman's Dome, and continued downwards onto the winding, curving roads. Back onto 441, we followed Oconaluftee River southward. We pulled over along the way to admire (and photograph!) creeks, meadows full of wild flowers, and wildlife. We spotted numerous elks roaming.
We ended up getting "lost" down an odd little road full of small houses, domestic animals, and bizarre decorations; we easily turned back on track. Continuing south towards Cherokee NC, we made our next stop Oconaluftee Visitor Center.
There was a museum, a homestead wonderfully preserved, to show how families lived and survived in the mountains 100 years ago. My Mom was delighted and wonderstruck imaging life on the homestead; I tried my hardest to capture that moment for her!
