Glacier National Park is certainly a beautiful place but, unfortunately, area fires kept me from seeing much of that beauty on this my first trip there. Fires were not the only challenge for me here. I knew ahead of time that the Going-to-the-Sun Road would be tough for me because of my fear of heights–and I was correct. It was a strange mixture of exhilaration at the amazing scenery and paralysis from amazing anxiety. Ultimately, I was able to enjoy myself, however. This visit was mainly characterized by breathtaking mountains, picturesque water features, and my first mountain goats that weren’t just white specks on a mountain side. These were all viewed from drives and short walks. Next visit is to include hiking–lots of hiking–so there will have to be a plan for Miss Sadie while I explore this spectacular Park more thoroughly.
For this post, first are a few more images from the route to the Park and then Part 1 of bucket list item “Glacier National Park”.
