Going-to-the-Sun Road
So, I inadvertently spent the Fourth of July in Canada (bad trip planning – but I did sing the Star Spangled Banner on my way to Customs and Immigration, and paid homage to the red poppies I keep in the car), and on the way back to Yellowstone the next day, I drove Going-to-the-Sun Road through Glacier National Park. I understand now why it is consistently rated among the top 10 best drives in the country, and here are the pictures to prove its awesomeness.
Wild Goose Island
Bluest water in Montana
Jackson Glacier in the background
Random tourists included for scale
Snowmelt waterfalls
More snowmelt waterfalls
A mountain goat and her kid, traversing the ranger station parking lot.
Idiot tourist getting way too close to the mountain goat. Surprise!
Rain is on its way ...
A new way to leave your mark. In snowpack.
Glacier National Park is an amazing place, and I hope that one day I have the chance to go back and spend some quality time, rather than just driving through (still more than worth it!). And, before I sign out, one of my favorite wildlife photos from this summer. Monsieur Elk says, “Huh?”
That's quite a rack you've got there.
Great pictures…I love it!

How awesome! What a great experience. It must be really hard to come back to concrete buildings, heat and too many people. Loved the pictures. Is there any way you can e-mail them to Mimi. She would love to see them.
Love you bunches!
Mommy

On the pic of the mountain goat and her kid…
It’s take your kid to work day….

Heh heh.
