Glacier National Park

Well, we have made it through another National Park.  I should have bought one of the NP Passport books. You can stamp it at each Park that we go through. I think it's a bit too late for us now, so I will just have to keep it up in my Diary of the 50 States.

Yesterday we went through Glacier National Park with Dave, Leanne and Wesley. Leanne and I  found out how photographers can have such different pictures. She was more interested in water and waterfalls, where I like pictures of a grander scale, such as Mountains, layers in the rock and valleys. But we both wanted pictures of animals.

It seemed like we travelled so far yesterday but we only travelled like 50 miles through the Park on the Road-to-the-Sun. Unfortunately, it was very cold at the to where Logan's Pass was. 

2 facts about Glacier- 
1. The Park at one time had 200 glaciers, but now only has 50. What I saw looked like snow pack. I learned that to be considered a glacier the ice needs to have a blue color. So, in my pictures  I don't know exactly what was a glacier and what was snow pack.
2. That place is packed, especially from the West entance to Logan Pass at the top of the mountain. It pretty much was bumper to bumper traffic.  A lot of people pulled over randomly for pictures, Including us. 

Leanne, Wesley and Harley went with us to Logan Pass on the and from there, they went back down to the West entrance. We finished the road and exited through the East gate. Right before we got to the end of the road, we got a glimpse of  Grizzly that was meandering through a meadow. The grass was quite tall but you could clearly see his grizzled hump on his shoulder area.

 I did not get a picture because we got shewed away by a Park Employee. We weren't allowed to park in front of her vehicle, which we didn't know.  It was kind of funny when she came and told us that we had to move. Mike said, "What do you mean we can't park here? I already did." The look on her face was a bit of astonishment. But then Mike said after a hesitation, " But I can move." She looked so thankful and that she didn't have a obstinate traveler. 🤣

Hope you enjoy some of the pictres that I took.

I want to tell all of you thank you for reading my rambling on about our trip. 

Tomorrow, we are supposed to go with Mike's brother, Rodney and his wife, Shirley to the Bison Reserve. I guess there is supposed to be bison, elk, and bears on the Reserve.
