National Park in northwestern Montana. Glacier is also one of
the best

If you're seeking to escape the heat of August, try staying
at the lighthouse keeper's house at lovely Heceta Head
on the Oregon coast. Or explore the small fishing port of Charleston
- gateway to Sunset Bay, Shore Acres and Cape Arago state parks and to
the
South Slough National Estuarine Reserve.
