On our way to the Canadian border in MT we deceded to check out Glacier National Park which is about 70 miles west of our border run route.
WOW - it just added to our determination to return to Montana for a summer of traveling in Big Sky Country. A hall mark of Glacier National Park is the Road to the Sun which is road in the park which goes tup and up and up before finally arriving at the pass then goes down and down and down. It is a narrow two lane road built in the 1920's and has been noted from the begining for its breathtaking views! We were disappointed to learn that it is not yet open - still clogged with snow on most of the route but we deceided to check out other parts of the park anyway!
So today we did about 250 miles round trip and we both agree it was all well worth it. We deceided this was just a preview. We much come back to spend more time in MT and more time at Glacier National Park. It was awesome and we only saw a small portion of the eastern portion of the Park!!
