Going to the Sun...and back again

Got on the road at about 9:00 or so which is pretty good for us. It was a short drive to the entrance of the park. We drove out the going to the sun road with the intention that we would also return by the same road. Most recommendations include the drive both ways because you see entirely different vistas.

We actually used the Guide Along app (like we did in Yellowstone) to point out the various significant features of the drive, and some of the history to the park.

We pretty much drove the entire drive to the east side and then out to the little town of Babb and back into the park to see the Many Glaciers area. On the way out of the east side, we had a couple of wildlife encounters. The largest one of course was the black bear. The picture is not very good but he was right by the roadside and our car actually scared him up the hill. Exciting to see.

Took a quick stop at the Saint Mary's visitor center.Leggi altro
