Outside view of the DeSmet that the previous videos captured from the inside!
Beautiful creek (Snyder Creek) feeding into the lake.
Obviously, I'm going to #4!
Outside the lodge.

Docking DeSmet!

Aside from my bad camera work, these last two videos are a couple of my favorite road tripping videos. The sound of the rushing creek water into Lake McDonald, the sunset, the mountains, the serenity? Is paradise found at Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park?
Maybe there's one person in the distance at the beginning of this video, but essentially no one around.
Did I own this lake? These mountains? This paradise? Even for a brief moment in June of 2010? Wonderful. One of the absolute pinnacles of all my road trips.
