This year we got an inter agency National Forest and Parks pass. We're trying to make good use of it by visiting as many National Parks as we can. Ryan has been working graveyard (which royally stinks) so making trips has been interesting. That being said, we decided we would take a crazy DRIVING trip to Glacier National Park for labor day weekend. Ryan got home from work Sunday Morning, we finished packing and hopped in the car and away we went....7 hrs of driving to get to Ryan's Parent's house in Hope. Ryan's Brother(Alan), his wife(Claire) and her sister(Caroline) were already out the house and we were later joined by Ryan's sister (Lindsay). -There will be a test later. j/k. :)
A very tired Ryan went to bed early and then we got up and left the house at about 9:00am. Claire and Lindsay decided to join us. We drove 3.5 hours to Glacier National Park. Then we drove around for several hours. We took the Going to the Sun road, but we didn't see very much sun. Though all we did was drive get out every now and then for pics it was breath taking. Then we drove 3.5 hours back to Hope. We've decided that it's too long of a drive to do as a day trip from the lake house. We'd like to go back and so some camping or back packing.
I love that you can see the glacial blue in the water.
I like the carved out rocks
The mountains were amazing
Cool tunnel that had cut outs that you can see below.

The water was so clear
Neat waterfallAt the top of the Going to the Sun Road we crossed the Continental Divide. Woo Hoo! It was also snowing and hailing. Needless to say we didn't get out and take any pictures. We did run into the visitors center which was pretty cool, but MUCH smaller than Rainer's visitors center. It was a good trip, but way too much driving!
