West Glacier, MT August 30 - September 4

We arrived at San Suz Ed RV park and backed into a huge paved site.


Unfortunately our first foray into Glacier National Park was not impressive--the weather was too foggy at high altitude.


Until the weather broke, we wandered around West Glacier and the neighboring towns, seeing Hungry Horse Dam and general scenery.




We played table tennis (the sport that brought us together) at a neighborhood bar that gave out free dinners on Wednesday nights and we watched the progress of Hurricane Earl on TV.

On Thursday, our 4th day, the weather forecast was good enough to visit the park, so we drove the Going to the Sun Road.


We saw Big Horn Sheep and lots of Columbian ground squirrels.



And, of course, the scenery was spectacular.








Even when we had to stop for 15 minutes for construction along the road, it wasn’t a problem because the mountains were so beautiful.


Unfortunately that was our one day of touring—we really didn’t get the chance to explore Glacier properly.
