We got lucky. We had a beautiful day today for our drive through Glacier National Park . What a place! We were wondering what it would be like after doing the Beartooth Highway but it was every bit as beautiful. Different, rockier mountains.....majestic. The one downside we experienced on the Going-To-The-Sun-Road was very heavy traffic. I think everyone took advantage of the nice day in between rainy ones so it was slow going and always crowded. Rick took the brunt of that, doing all the driving and always having to be alert. We decided to go around the park on the way back to Whitefish and that trip was beautiful as well. Through East Glacier and several smaller towns....much less traffic.We did not see any wildlife in or out of the park, but we did see a lot of cattle on the road. We had just pulled off on a turn-out, a car flew by and we heard him slam on his brakes. One was in the road...no one hurt. As we left the area, several more were in the road. Just wandering free on the range. :)
The weather looks pretty iffy the next couple of days. We'll probably stick around here another day or so and then head to Idaho for our next adventure. It'll be interesting. We have no plans, no specific places to go.... just meandering. Thanks again to those sending comments. We love it. Happy trails.
P.S. I'm attaching a picture of one of the little ponies roaming our park. This morning there were also the llamas, plus little burros and a calf! ??? Where are they all coming from?
Majestic indeed.
