                                     GOING-TO-THE-SUN ROAD

              


   As we started out Thursday to go to the
   other side of the park, we taveled along
   the shore of Lake Macdonald.  On the far
   end of the Lake Macdonald Creek enters
   the lake.  A sign said Macdonald Falls, 
   we decided to drive in and see them.

           Going-to-sun road goes through
           Logan's Pass to the otherside 
           of the Rocky Mountains.  At times
           mother nature needed a helping
           hand to make a path wide enough
           for cars.  Here is one of the 
           tunnels through the mountain edge. 
  
   The view coming out of the
   tunnels was spectacular. 
   Here Josh caught the beauty. 

        Not long after we passed
        the Logan Pass Visitor Center
        we came across these falls.
        Reynolds Falls
        is from a stream that flows right
        up to the road. 

   As you drive along the road
   from the falls you get several
   views of Going-to-the-sun Mountain.
  
        There are also several
        places along the road
        where there are snow
        drifts right up to the 
        road even in August.
        Imagine what they are 
        like in January!

  While we were in Glacier it was announced
  that the buses that are used for tours of
  the park were being retired.  This is one
  of the buses.  They will be replaced with
  modern van buses.   
  
         At Rising Sun Visitor Center
         we found a whole fleet of the
         buses. In my opinion its a 
         shame the old buses can't be
         replaced with ones like them.
         It adds a special touch to 
         touring by bus.

   We traveled along St. Mary's Lake for many
   miles.  It had many pull overs but this 
   one was especially inviting.  It had a
   great view of the lake, a trail to walk
   down and flowers.

  
         We reached our destination,
         the town of St. Mary, early.
         We decided to make the drive
         up to Many Glaciers since we
         were early. On the road into
         Many Glacier is Lake Sherburne
         pictured here.

   Also along the road was a field
   of wild flowers.  We stopped for
   Looey to take pictures and discover
   a trail to Apikuni Falls. The sign
   said 2km.  That seemed like a nice
   afternoon hike.
  
         On our way out,
         we met these cows. 
         They seem to think 
         THEY own the road!

     That's all folks.. Did you take all the side trips on this page?
