Our Monday in Glacier


At the end of the day Sunday, we piled into the car and drove the first portion of the Going to the Sun road - just as far as Rising Sun and walked to a waterfall.

Dan did his best Captain Morgan... and I look wholly unimpressed with nature. 






Monday was the real deal - Going to the Sun road from beginning to end. A few highlights:

This viewpoint


and the accompanying selfies:






and since Bekah was being Bekah, 


Dan tried to be Bekah, too.


Driving along Weeping Wall:

And this one

 

This random falls (along with 100 others) were photographed out the car window:


This peek of a peak through the trees:


I loved the light reflecting off the river through this whole valley:


Making it to the continental divide and the peak of the Going to the Sun road.

Random wildlife near Logan Pass:


An impromptu stop at Red Rocks - where half the group jumped in.


and I sat and pondered:

We ended up by a lake near Apgar.

When we made it to the other end of the park, we found a sign to the take the obligatory national park selfie. 

On our way back, we hunted for this bridge -
 

making a few stops before we found it. It was late enough in the day, we had it all to ourselves (and the sun low in the sky).

We found a bear (and some cubs) on our way back to camp. 

We celebrated a great day with some carbo-loading for the long hike the next day:
