This campground has a little bit of history—it is the original KOA campground, dating back to 1962.

And with our arrival in Montana, we reached a pretty significant milestone in our travels. After six years, eleven months and two days, we had officially visited every U.S. state and every Canadian province and territory that we could drive our motorhome in. The one exception to the Canadian Territories is that of Nunavut. We will have to fly or take a boat to get there. The only State that our motorhome was not in was Hawaii, however we have had the pleasure of travelling there often.

That’s a lot of miles, a lot of campgrounds, and an awful lot of memories. And somehow, our journey was still going.

After leaving Billings, we continued north through Montana on May 3rd. We pulled out around 9:30, and the drive turned out to be much nicer than the previous few days. The landscape was becoming more rugged again, with mountains and more interesting scenery replacing the endless flat fields we’d been travelling through.

We only stopped a couple of times for breaks before arriving at Glacier Mist RV Park in Cut Bank around 3:45.

The campground itself wasn’t particularly fancy, but it had one thing going for it that made up for a lot—the horses in our backyard and the mountains of Glacier National Park visible in the distance. It was a pretty good place to spend our final night in the United States.

And we had something important to celebrate. We opened a bottle of bubbly to officially mark the completion of our goal. After six years, eleven months and two days, we had now been to every U.S. state and every Canadian province and territory, with the exception of Nunavut. It was a pretty amazing milestone and one that deserved a toast.

The next morning, May 4th, we packed up and were on the road before 9:30. The next hour was absolutely spectacular as we travelled north on Highway 89 alongside Glacier National Park.

The snow-covered peaks against the blue sky made for an incredible drive, and it was a fitting final stretch before crossing back into Canada.

We reached the Canadian border around 11:30 and crossed into Alberta. The customs experience couldn’t have been easier—it took about a minute with the customs officer, and just like that, we were back in Canada.

We stopped in Cardston for groceries before making the final 45-minute drive to Waterton Lakes National Park. Once we arrived, we got set up in site A7 and quickly started meeting a few of the dogs in the neighbourhood.

The sky had looked beautiful as we came into Waterton, but the weather soon changed and the rain moved in. We walked around town and along the lake before heading back to the motorhome for some tea as a thunderstorm rolled through.

After nearly seven years of travelling, thousands of kilometres and countless stops along the way, being back in Canada felt pretty good. And while the journey home wasn’t quite finished yet, crossing that border marked another chapter of our travels.
