Glacier National Park, Going to the Sun Road

We have seen some great things so far on this journey...but today we was breathtaking scenery unlike anywhere else we've ever been. Both of us had to say "Good Work, God!"

We got up early and got to the gates at 7:00 AM...before the rangers were even there.  The traffic was light, with only a couple of brief delays due to road construction.

Going To The Sun Road is about 45 miles long, and runs from West Glacier to St. Mary's at the eastern gate of Glacier. This is the only road that traverses the entire Park, and was built I think in the 1930's.  That in itself is amazing. But the incredible park it winds through was....well....see for yourself....

Very narrow, barely two lanes
July snow bridges...treacherous!
