Before I get to the park I need to say we got Gage to Great Falls and on the airplane. Everything was great until he got to Denver. Denver was having thundershowers and the plane was delayed several hours. I don’t know exactly what time he got to Oklahoma City but I think it was around 10pm. The next morning we left Lolo and headed to Columbia Falls, MT. We are staying at the La Salle RV Park on Highway 2. It isn’t a bad park just a little hard to get around in due to tight corners and trees.
We went into Glacier yesterday and again today. Yesterday we used the free shuttle service and went from the West headquarters up to Logan Pass. It was OK but I really can’t recommend it. You can’t really see good unless you are lucky enough to get a good seat and although they stop at certain places on the way up you can’t just pull out and take a picture. Coming back down I was lucky enough to get to ride next to the driver but even then I had to take pictures through the windshield. Due to the heavy snows this Winter, there is a lot of road construction going on at several places on both sides of Logan Pass. This of course caused lots of delays. The road wasn’t even completely open for vehicle traffic until Wednesday, the day we left Lolo.
The snow was really deep up at the top of Logan Pass.
You will notice the coats and remember this was the 14th of July.
Today we took the Jeep and drove all the way over the “Going to the Sun” road into St Mary and then on out to the lodge at Many Glaciers which is still part of the park and actually connects with the Canadian side of the park although you can’t get into Canada except by water. I am going to finish with pictures of the park since they tell the real story. Glacier is still my favorite National Park.
