Wight family tradition: Glacier Nat'l Park

Once a year my husband's family takes a trip to Glacier National Park. After being there, I can see why. It is quite breath-taking.

Flathead Lake (it's huge!)

Going-to-the-Sun Road, Glacier NP

(Holy crap! straight drop off on the other side of the rock wall! Sometimes up to around 1000 feet or more!)

 Mountain sheep at the top of the pass (where Going-to-the-Sun Road ends. Go Rams!)

 Pictures at the visitor's center

 Marmot ("Alan! Alan! Alan! Al!")

 Ground squirrel

 Mama and baby mountain goats

 Parked under the weeping wall

 "The Gorge" just a short walk from our campground

 bear grass

 black pinecones that stick straight up from the branch

 This weird vehicle can be seen all over the park. These "Jammers" are used as tour buses

Swimming in Lake Koocanusa (named for the Kootenai River that feeds it and the "can" because half is in Canada, and "usa" because the other half is in the USA. We were in the US part of it (we didn't bring our passports).

 Train tracks running parallel to Kootenai Falls
