Going to the Sun Road

We all got and early start today - we knew it was going to me a long one. We left the trailer around 6:30 (that's A.M. woof!) and headed into Glacier National Park. We HAD to go today because they were going to close the Going to the Sun Road at midnight. Whoever fixes the roads were going to work really hard to repair it before the snows hit.

We drove from the West Glacier side to the St. Mary side. The road is amazing and the views are spectacular. Going to the top it went from cloudy to rainy to snowing. We decided to pass on stopping at Logan Pass since it was snowing and K wouldn't be able to hike where she wanted and picture taking would be difficult. We went on over to St. Mary's to check on the Osprey that K & D follow on one of the Glacier web cams. Well we guess these baby osprey are pretty smart - they've already headed south for the winter. They've been gone from the next for two days.

We decided to head up to Many Glacier. Just to see if everything is still there and we guess it was cuz both K and D were happy. It was a little rainy so we didn't do too much outside.

We did have one bit of excitement - we saw a bear. He was up on the hill - eating berries or something. K was able to get a few pictures (thanks to the big lens that Dr. Cater loaned her). Well,she SAYS she got a couple of good photos - but ask her to prove it... she apparently deleted them after "thinking" she loaded them onto the computer. Ya right! We've heard this before... the fish that got away... the bear that got away. Woof!

Oh well, we'll look for another bear tomorrow.

We decided to go back over the Going to the Sun Road and it was closed due to snow and a rock slide. We guess that the only time you can actually GO to the sun is in July. Other than that, no such luck.

More later...
