We have finally gotten back into travel mode. After spending a few days in Salt Lake City for some genealogy and the 4th of July, we headed north to the west Glacier National Park area. We had last been in Glacier in 2003, so felt it was about time to make a return visit.
Driving the Going-to-the-Sun Road provides dramatic vistas including mountains, waterfalls, streams, lakes and wildflowers.
