Glacier and Going to the Sun Road


We arrived at Glacier National Park on Friday midday and easily found a camping spot. As soon as we settled in we got out the tandem and took a ride. The bear sign is the only bear we have seen. 


It has mostly been cloudy, but still lovely. Today we took a red bus trip on the Going to the Sun Road. Our tour guide Marlon said that the clouds would actually improve our photos as the light would be better. I wasn't sure whether this was a story, but we managed to get some neat shots. Marlon drives the buses so his wife can put up more easily with a retired earth sciences teacher. He makes a pretty good guide, but certainly liked puns. 





The light and clouds made everything greener and bluer. Is that a word? Even the photos out the window were pretty. 


Glacier is a beautiful park with many spectacular views, and some scary rivers. 


We are heading to Canada tomorrow, so won't have data anymore. Postings will probably be limited. I hope we don't run into any of the fires raging there.
