Lake McDonald, which is just inside the west entrance into the park. |

McDonald Falls, on the northeast end of the lake. |

Hmmm. I must be gettin' old. I can't remember the name of the distant waterfall. |

A tiny segment of the Going-to-the-Sun Road. |

I shot this when I was on top of Logan Pass. Logan Pass is at elevation 6,646 feet. |
I'm at Glacier National Park in Montana and it is beautiful! The weather is perfect and the scenery is spectacular! I've driven a lot of miles to get here but it has been worth it. I am not disappointed. This is a location that you have to put on your bucket list of places to visit.
By the time I arrived in Columbia Falls, it was late afternoon. I got my trailer leveled and the utilities hooked-up and decided to make a quick run into the park to see what I could find. The sun sets late here so I still had several hours of daylight. I entered the park at West Glacier and took the Going-to-the-Sun Road up to Logan Pass before I decided it was time to turn around and head home. Just as a side note, when I first saw the name of the road, I thought it was kind of silly. But after driving on it, I understand how it got it's name. The road goes up and up and up and up!!! When I'd find a place to pull over and take pictures, I'd look ahead and see the road continuing upwards as far as I could see. But let me tell ya, the road is very narrow in places, enough so until I thought I might lose the mirrors on my truck. So far, so good. I still have my mirrors!
Until next time!
