Travel Destination: Glacier National Park


 Glacier National Park is one of the most beautiful in the country. It has the going to the sun road that curves through the mountains. It is best to go in the summer around July and August. the Glaciers that gave the name to the park are disappearing but the park is still a site to see and a great place to hike.


I went in June and the road was closed due to snow in Logan's pass.

The road that leads up into the mountains. In the summer time it is jam pack with people trying to drive the road. This is not the case when we went...since it was closed and we were on the side that didn't harbor much people.

the mountains in the clouds is always an amazing site to see and photograph. You only get a shot like this on certain days.




There are a lot of waterfalls up in the park. Love the sound of rushing water. It is so peaceful.













If you are lucky you will see a lot of wild animals but be safe. Most parks will have handouts on what is the safest distance for observing animals.




If you want to head to Canada while visiting Glacier you should remember to bring your passport.
