Glacier National Park Highlights

     I must say this is one of the most beautiful national parks we have seen.  It has been a great two weeks here, so I am just showing a few of the many highlights that are here.  If you like the outdoors, camping, and hiking, this place is great.  Even though this is high season here, there is plenty of room.  People arrive in their compact cars, pull out their tents, and coolers, and off they go…amazing.  I wish I would have been more adventurous when I was younger.  Travelling in a 5th wheel is not bad either!!!

     The only animals we have seen are these prairie dogs.  This one was trying to carry a piece of rug to his hide out, and having difficulty shoving it all in P1010139its mouth or tripping over it.  He was cute!

     There is a road through the park called going to the sun, which we did a couple of times.   These are a few pictures along the way. 

     Our weather has been perfect except for these last few days of rain.  The rain was even fun, but not for picture taking.

Going to the Sun

To Canada

Waterton NPOn Sunday, the 15th, it was our 19th wedding anniversary.  We decided to head to Canada, and see the Waterton National Park which is part of Glacier.  The Prince of Wales Hotel is in the park.  We had a great lunch even though it poured rain.  What a beautiful setting! 

     On Monday we headed south, passing soLeaving St maryme of the residual trees where fire had been several years ago.  We are staying in Bear Creek River Access for a few days until our friends family gets here.  Then we will head east. Our Spot
