Glacier Park

We arrived at Glacier Park about 9:30 am on Aug. 18th. It was a beautiful drive into the park.


The first stop that we made was Lake Mc Donald lake. Oh my gosh! it was so beautiful. The water was so clear that I was able to take pictures of the rocks on the bottom of the lake. I took a couple of pictures where the water line began and you can hardly tell where the water started. I think for that day that was my favorite place. I have never seen a lake that had no pollution. Too bad all lakes don't look like that, of course that is what makes it so special.


While driving a little farther we saw a stopping place that had a bridge that you could stand on and watch a waterfall. It was not a big waterfall but so gorgeous. The sound that the water made flowing over the rocks was so relaxing. I looked up into the woods across the bridge and there was a buck that was waiting to cross the bridge. There were several people on the bridge so he was not willing to cross over. I did get a couple of pictures of him waiting patiently. He surely did not mind that everyone was staring at him!


We are driving up Going to the Sun Highway. We saw mountains that had glaciers on them. You could definitely tell how the glaciers formed the mountains. There were so many waterfalls that were coming out of the mountains. They were everywhere.



The next morning John left us. He decided he should return home. He did text us and he did make it home safe and sound. We had a great visit. The next morning GW and I drove up on the West side of Glacier Park. We had prayed that morning that we would see a bear. That is the only animal left that was on my list to see in the wild. I think that we drove for probably 6 miles or so and Gary said there he is! I looked out of the window and there was a bear running across the field trying to get out of the open. It was awesome. I was so happy that I did get see my bear. It made my day for sure.



As we were driving down from the west side we saw a old log cabin. The logs that were made out of local logs were pretty rotten and falling down. I was on a little hill right next to a flowing river.



We are now in Spokane Washington. We are staying on Fairchild AFB. It is a very pretty post. I would highly recommend this spot. It is very different being in the city as opposed to the mountains. The beauty is just special in the mountains!



Well all it is getting close to my retirement bed time. We will be here until Tuesday. Then we will head for Seattle. We will be there for 3 days before we begin our trip to Alaska!

Love you all!!!!
