Montana Trip: Day 4

Who needs Denny's when you have a Lodge cast iron! Every morning we would eat bacon, scrambled eggs, and warmed cinnamon bread. Chris was in charge of cooking on the trip-what a nice switch for a week!

Most often when entering Glacier you would see this sign immediately. 

That day the sun was bright and worked in our favor for some great pictures. Most of these were taken on our hike to Redrock Falls. Chris told me to go stand out in the lake! Redrock Falls is in the distance right behind me. 

We finally hiked a little bit farther and got the the top of the waterfall. From up there I made Chris capture my growth spurt. The rest of the pictures are at Redrock Falls. 



We wanted to get pictures of us directly in the waterfall. Where is Waldo? I am standing up in mine and Chris is sitting down. 

This is a popular flower called BearGrass and it is everywhere. 

Hiking back, we saw people running the other way and screaming. Chris and I didn't know what was going on-then we saw them. Directly to my left about 30 feet away a mom with her 3 cubs. They headed back up the hill and I snapped these photos. 


After the Hike we decided to go drive up to Logan's Pass on the Going to the Sun Road. You are literally driving on the mountain side with a steep fall to your left or right depending on which way you were going. Everywhere you looked it was breathtaking! Gorgeous snow covered Rocky. 

Driving through the mountainside in a tunnel. 

Up at Logan's Pass, we got out of the car and this guy was just standing here. Then people discovered him and chased him frantically around the parking lot trying to capture a photo. Then we saw a mountain goat and her kid! I guess the people the day before were feeding them, so they just keep coming back for more!


These are well know vehicles that are giving tours to many around Glacier Park. They have a convertable top so during the tour you can look directly up and see the mountains. 

After leaving Logan's pass we kept driving just to see the rest and how bad the road construction was going to be for tomorrows journey across the road to West Glacier. These Bighorn sheep were on the road eating the salt from the road construction. 

The rest are just gorgeous pictures while driving on the road. If you look closely on the second picture you can see the road on the left side coming down the mountain. And of course the infamous weeping wall that gets all inside your car if your windows aren't up! 




At the Sunrift Gorge, just right along the road. Chris wanted me to sit on the 
rock in the middle but I got too scared! 

What a perfect end to the day!
