The Going to the Sun Road was Awesome.
We did The Going to the Sun Road yesterday, wow what beauty. Once we got to the Visitor Center at Logan Pass we decided to do the hike to Hidden Lake it was 3 miles round trip. The trail was still covered with snow, the trail gains 460 feet over a mile and a half. The reward was worth it, we saw a Mountain Goat and the back country was beautiful.
Going up The Going To the Sun Road.
Lunch Creek.
Glacier National Park.
The wait is over, The Going To The Sun Road is open for travel. We will explore the 21 miles of the road we have not seen yet on Thursday or Friday depending on weather.
While we’ve been waiting.
We’ve been fishing in Glacier twice and kayaking once. We went to Apgar Village for all of it. Photos below were taken at Apgar Village just inside of the West entrance of Glacier.
If your asking yourself where are the pictures of the fish? The score is fish 2 and Rich and Darla 0. The nice thing about Glacier N.P. is you don’t need a permit or Montana fishing license to fish inside the park. You do however have to use lead free tackle and some fish are catch and release so it pays to pick up a copy of the fishing regulations from the Visitors Center.
Rafting Trip
We had never been on a rafting trip, so being that we’re waiting for the Going To The Sun Road to open we decide to take one. We signed up for a nine mile rafting trip followed by dinner by the river. Wild River Adventures in West Glacier Montana put on a great trip and they were very accommodating. They really go the extra mile to make sure everyone has a great experience. The dinner choices were Steak, Salmon, or Chicken with baked potato, salad, roll, and desert. We had so much fun I think we’ll do another rafting trip in the future but on a river with bigger whitewater rapids. The photos below were purchased from the Photographer provided by Wild River Adventures. We had hope to post a video of the adventure but we had some technical issues with the new waterproof action video/camera we purchased for the trip.
It was so much fun to hear Darla behind me hootin and hollerin as we went through the whitewater.
Too much fun, instant smile.
The water temperature was thirty-nine degrees. Refreshing as it was eighty-seven degrees on the river.
Two Medicine Boat Tour.
The boat tour was a lot of fun. The boat is an old wooden boat where all windows open so anyone could take a photo without shooting through a window. They let four people at a time out on the bow to take photos. The hike to Twin Falls was about two miles round trip with only seventy-five feet elevation gain. Very nice time.
