We spent several days in Columbia Falls, Montana, as a base to visit nearby Glacier National Park. All the park entrances on the east side were closed to protect the Blackfoot Reservation during Covid-19. Due to the closures, the Going-To-The-Sun Road was only open to the Rising Sun area near the middle of Saint Mary Lake. Despite the closure we found the Going-To-The-Sun Road packed with visitors, with lots of traffic and extremely limited parking available.
On our first drive we noticed a minor haze, likely resulting from the western wildfires, but the scenery was still spectacular.
We couldn't see what water source was feeding this waterfall.
We thought this park information sign was a bit different from the usual signs.
On our next drive over the Going-To-The-Sun Road, the smoky haze was noticeably heavier.
While there were many wildflowers visible along the road, there usually was no safe place to stop and take pictures. One area had dense patches of Fireweed that was nearing the end of its blooming season.
