Glacier Park

Friday, 6/27/2014
East Glacier Park


The Going To The Sun road in Glacier Park is still closed in the middle due to very bad mud slides right after getting most of the snow plowed so we drove to St. Mary which is the eastern entrance and we traveled the 16 miles that were opened.  Some of the road is fine but about 10 miles are all gravel however, we saw some spectacular sights of glaciers, rivers, waterfalls and even a mother grizzly with 3 cubs, one that looked to be last years and then twins that appeared to be born this spring.  Then returning to the east entrance we rode back through Browning, East Glacier Park to the west entrance and entered the park and rode the 16 miles that are open on that side.  We got back to the Whistling Swan in East Glacier Park around 5:30 and completely unpacked the car and reorganized things and repacked.  I cannot imagine how people feel living out of their vehicle.  Zoey got a fright when we stopped at one of the statues posted at the entrance to the Blackfeet Reservation and we were walking around and Todd and Don were up close and she began to climb on the rock base and she let out a yell and said she had touched a snake; just its tail but it was green and wiggled away.  We were so tired and ready for a good night’s sleep.
