8/12/08 - Glacier National Park, Montana

We drove the Going-to-the-Sun Road which goes through the middle of the park from our campground on the west side at Apgar to the east side at St. Mary. The road goes through spectacular scenery of glacier carved mountains. This is one of the most famous scenic drives in the world. We hiked to Baring Falls and hiked to a really windy spot called Sun Point overlooking St. Mary Lake. We couldn’t stop at the Logan Pass visitor center because the parking lot was full. We did see a really cute mountain goat and a hoary marmot. We saw lots of Columbian Ground Squirrels and chipmunks.
