Going to the Sun Drive

Our first trip into Glacier Park was to the "Going to the Sun" road which goes up a mountain to about 7,000 feet. The drive goes through some of the most beautiful country you can imagine. There are picturesque mountains and glaciers on both sides of the road. At one stop up the road Jerry and Sheryl got out and played in the snow. They threw snow balls at John while I took this picture. Can you imagine throwing snow balls in late July. As a matter of fact the week before we got there the Road to the Sun was closed for several days because of snow.

There are a lot of cold rivers and streams coming down the side of the mountains.

At the Information Center, we saw a couple of mountain goats grazing along the side walks. They were not the least bit afraid of people taking pictures.
