Today we made it to Glacier National Park. Despite a little hiccup at the entrance we managed to have a very nice day. Two nights earlier Lucas and I carefully found and counted all of the American coins from the coin jar. Exactly $25 dollars worth, conveniently the same cost as admission into the park. The lady at the park gate wouldn't take our word for how much money was in the bag and insisted on counting out all the coins while the line of cars behind us continued to grow. We decided to use Visa as it wasn't fair for everyone to wait for her to count it all out. I guess them Americans aren't as trusting as us Canadians... We will find somewhere else to spend our hard earned money.
Not willing to let the mean lady ruin our day, we continued on to the "Going to the sun" road. A 53 mile drive through the park described as one of the most beautiful drives in America. It was a little cloudy up in the mountains, but the drive was still spectacular! Here are some of our photos.
A mountain stream at the start of the drive.
Lucas and Emily hanging out.
Mount Cannon peaking out of clouds.
Managed to get one good picture out of the drivers side window.
Not much room between the face of the mountain, the cars and the cliff!
So many mountains, waterfalls and glaciers.
Hard to pay attention to the road with so many things zooming by.
A spectacular road to drive on.
The clouds hanging in the mountains made for some very nice photos.
Jim, Harrison, Emily, Ramona and Lucas
