Highway To The Sun - Glacier National Park

We lazily crawled out of bed this morning and fixed ourselves a picnic lunch and launched out for a drive on the Highway To The Sun!  It is a 50 mile drive that took us all day because the driving was slow, and oh my; there were soooooo many Kodak Moments.  George Bird Grinnell was a naturalist, hunter, founder of the Audubon Society, and is considered the "Father of Glacier National Park."  Grinnell said in words so much better than my own -   "No words can describe the grandeur and majesty of these mountains, and even photographs seem hopelessly to dwarf and belittle the most impressive peaks."  The opaque quality of the water is due to the high content of finely ground rock dust suspended in the water, evidence of past glacial activity at the head of the valley.  Billy and I had camera in hand hunting for that elusive critter, but today our hunts resulted in memories of beautiful glaciers, mountains, rocks, wild flowers, lakes, waterfalls, clouds, moss, and ferns.  We did see a Big Horn Sheep through the binoculars but it was too far away to photograph.  On the way out of the park we stopped at a "grocery market" looking for fresh huckleberries and fresh cherries.  No such luck.  Then we drove Maggie by the buffalo statue so that she could bark at it.  Came back to the camper and had dinner, and now I am curling up with my book after I take Maggie out to read her P-Mail.   Surely, "Life is Good Today!"
