OK on Sunday 7/22 off
to Glacier National Park hopefully in search for wildlife. Spent 2 days in West
Glacier and did the drive “Going to the
Sun Highway” What beauty!!! Sharp Jagged peaks Curvy road with 1000 foot
drop-offs and Peggy holding on for dear life. Major construction going on for
about 4 miles of the 50+ mile road. We left West glacier early enough in the
morning that we beat the construction workers so there was no delay. First stop
was The summit. 8:30am and the visitor center was closed. Walked up to the
meadows and spotted 3 big horn sheep.
Drove down the back side to Babb, MT and Many Glaciers
National Park. On our way we caught a very brief glimpse of a Mother black bear and 2 cubs. I was driving
to fast to take pictures, I slammed on my breaks and backed up but by the time
I got back they were gone and hidden in the brush Damn!!!! Drove into Swift
Current Lake and wandered the beautiful Lodge there.
Time to head back we’ve been on the road now for about 5
hours. It is just as beautiful going the opposite direction. We weren’t as
lucky on the way back as we were stopped by the construction for about 30
minutes but that was alright the scenery was so cool and it was nice to rest
from driving.
Hope you enjoy the pictures and now it’s off to
the Canadian Rockies.
