The Going to the Sun road in Glacier is one of those things that should be on everyones to do list. I got to drive our big truck on the twisty, narrow road that climbs up the side of a mountain and then follows along the edge for quite a while. There is road construction going on which turned out to be a good thing. You are stopped on the road for awhile waiting for your turn to go through the construction and you can get out of your car and take pictures. Otherwise there aren't many pullouts to stop and look at the scenery. There were times when I'm sure I passed another vehicle with only an inch of clearance between us. There is a free shuttle service you can ride instead of driving your vehicle if you just want to enjoy the views without the excitement of driving.
We got to the top of Logan Pass and there were big horn sheep wandering around in the parking lot. I took a picture of one that was "parked" illegally by the no parking sign. We also got some great pictures of the mountains reflecting into St Mary's lake on the east side of Logan's Pass.
We have moved on from Kalispell and are now back in Anaconda which is a small town 20 miles west of Butte. We will be here for a few weeks before heading to Utah.
