Glacier National Park

Few words today, just pictures. We did the Going to the Sun hwy yesterday. With frequent Kodak moments and construction stops it was slow but worthy of the slow pace. It is about 50 mi one way. Reminder to click on pics for better viewing. We did see bighorn sheep at the summit but no good pictures.








Hazy here too.


Waterfalls and rivers diminished so late in season


An example of the early road building in the '30's. They are now doing some widening and restoring the rock walls lining the roadway.


Shelf road most of the way. Many bikers.





Only 26 glaciers remain out of 150 and the Jackson glacier in the pic above is only 25% of it's original size.







There are 2 large lakes within the boundries and many smaller ones.



Many Glacier Lodge. Done in Swiss Alp style and being renovated.


Some parts have significant intimidation factor if you are on the outside.











The iconic Red Bus tours. They are 7-8 hours long and all were filled when we inquired. I would enjoy the narrative. These are the original 33 buses and Ford restored them about 7 years ago and now they run on propane.


Wild flowers were in abundance.

I hope these meager pics have inspired you to plan a trip soon. It is awesome.
