Going to the Sun Road

The spectacular views of these incredible mountains are beyond description. When we arrived at the east entrance this morning we learned that the road was not open all the way through the park. So we journeyed in as far as allowed, then went back out and rode around the outside of the park to the west entrance.

After a bit of rest and late lunch, we proceeded into the park again. This time we encountered construction, unpaved roadway, one lane traffic, loose gravel, all the things you dread on a motorcycle. We did make it up near the highest point however, and were rewarded with spectacular views. This did turn out to be an awesome day.

Returning to the village of West Glacier, we did manage to find a little pie and ice cream to cap off the evening.

That picture just about made its way onto my desktop as my new wallpaper.

Beautiful.

In contrast, I got to watch a drunk guy through up on the El platform on my way to work this morning.

Not so beautiful.
