Glacier National Park

Continuing west we debated what the white shapes were on the horizon. Soon they took form, the snow covered mountains of Glacier National Park. You know I am rarely at a loss for words, but terms like spectacular, majestic and awesome pale when describing the beauty of this area. We stayed in a wooded campsite in the park. We thought the Going to the Sun road would be open by the time we arrived but that was not to be. Snow and avalanches have kept it closed at the top, so we made due with what we could. On the west side, the road ended at the Avalanche Lake trail head. We parked the car and took a muddy hike to Avalanche Lake and its surrounding mountains with more waterfalls than we could count. We are still trying to clean our shoes.
