Going to the Sun in Glacier National Park

This summer we found one of the most beautiful places on the planet, (we still have a lot to see, but this will always rank up there) in Glacier National Park in Montana.

Going to the Sun Run is a windy curving, 50 mile trek that runs straight through the center of the park.

There is so much to see that you want to stop after every turn and drink it all in.

Waterfalls tumble down the mountain sides.

 breaking up snow banks,

and weeping down the rock walls.

 Vistas of mountain plateaus,

 And the remaining Glaciers.

Rivers run along the curves in the road,

and head into the forest.

 Barring Falls, runs under the roadway bridge,

 Sunrift George is a great place to stop for a break in the drive.

There are so many picturesque places to stop.

Great little hikes, to get out into the trees,

(or plenty of longer hikes if you're up for it).

Plenty of places to stop for a picnic.

Snowbanks that make caves, to check out.

River to cool off in,

and explore,

and get a little adventerous.

Animals Abound: 

Mountain Goats,

precariously preched on the mountain tops,

Deer,

even Bears

(Mama was a bit of a scared- "no running Mama.")

 (The bear and the deer were actually on the trail to St. Mary's Falls).

St. Mary's Falls was a great hike to check out.

Fantastic sunlight.

The falls were amazing.

Papa having fun.

We loved every minute of it!

This place is a must see, and you better do it quick. There use to be over 100 glaciers in the park, now there are 26. It's believed that within 20 years they will all have melted. Don't miss you chance to see it's majesty.
