Glacier National Park proudly (and legitimately) boasts some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in the world. Even with all the fabulous scenery that we have been fortunate to see - Glacier is still AWESOME!
The key attraction is "The Road to the Sun" which goes up over the Continental Divide (at 8200 ft) at Logan Pass. The road starts out past a lake backdropped with still snow-capped peaks.

True to it's name There are glaciers to view along the road. However, they are disappearing fast - of 150 glaciers in 1850 there are only 26 remaining, and they are receding rapidly. It is estimated they will all be gone by about 2030.
The views from the top of the pass are dizzying! It's a very long way down to the valley
You can actually see the road running along the river far below.
At the other end of the road is Lake MacDonald this is looking back towards the park over the lake.
