Glacier National Park

      Today we got up early in the morning to catch the express bus in Apgar in west Glacier to Logan Pass, and then on to St. Mary’s, which is the east entrance.  This road is called the Going-to-the-Sun Road.  It is fifty miles, and tranGNPsects the park.  We decided this would gives us a flavor of the park, and it did.  This road is also under construction, which makes travel by car tenuous, as well as it is high season here.  By 1100, the park was getting full, and we were ready to head out, having driven in a shuttle bus for six hours.  What greaGNPt scenery we have to look at!!         Here are some of the pictures.  The mountains are known for their ruggedness, but there are many falls, and streams along the way.  We saw some snow, and even a glacier.  We will go back in a few days and plan our attack on the othGNPer things we missed.
  Hopefully we will head over to the eastern side of the park and camp for a few days, and maybe even get to the Canada portion.

     We met our friends here, David and Linda, who we are enjoying a few days with camping until we head east.  All I can say is that it is beautiful country.
