Going-to-the-Sun Road

Apologies for delayed updates. We have been WiFi-less which has meant that all the hours that G would usually have spent mindlessly staring at his phone has had to be used more constructively, hence us being 1700+ miles further on since we last posted!

Glacier Park is a National Park in Montana. We purchased an annual pass which allows entry to the numerous national parks. It is $80 (£55) and allows entry for two pass holders with a vehicle. It is called the 'America the Beautiful' pass and therein I feel lies our problem in good old Blighty: We too live in a place which has gorgeous scenery and interesting wildlife - although without the danger of the wildlife seeing you as a snack (that said only 7 people have been killed by bears ever in Yellowstone, yet 12 people have been trampled to death by cows in the UK in the last 6 years) and I think we need to get a bit more American about boasting about our patch: come on National Trust, be more Dog.

The reason for coming to Glacier Park was to travel a route called the Going-to-the-Sun Road , which is a 50 mile road across the mountains and is only passable from late June/early July each year to early September.

Glacier Park was formed by Glaciers ages ago. The current remaining glaciers were formed around 7,000 years ago. It was weird to see them, bright and shiny and just "over there" yet know that some parts of them have never been touched by humans.
