A dear friend of a dear friend lives here in Kalispell so we got a special “locals tour” of the Going To The Sun Road. Thanks Betsy and Rebecca 💕
We were a bit silly and since it was a beautiful but cold day yesterday, and today was “supposed” to be nicer, somehow we didn’t bring hats or our big jackets even though we were going up over the pass. Thankfully Betsy came prepared with an extra jacket and hat 🙂 so we eeked by
We thought mid week in September was the time to go to Glacier. Apparently we are not the only ones to think that either. So many more people visit the parks each year and Betsy said this Thursday in September easily looked like a Saturday in the summer a few years ago.
It was still a beautiful day and a must do at Glacier but I feel we must come back and enjoy the pass when the sun is out and the wildflowers are in full bloom to re-hike the highline trail and the hidden lakes trail.
But glad we made it over to many glacier even if no time for a hike to see it. Plus Betsy has the employee pass so they let us in when they were turning away cars because it was too crowded.
We did see some animals today. 3 grizzlies, a pika, and some bighorn sheep.
