Logan Pass Back Country Ski and Hike Fun June 2012

Here are a few photos from our fun up at Logan Pass (Continental Divide)  Skiing. Pretty foggy when we got there but cleared real fast and forgot the sun screen. We were tomatoes at the end of the day. Lesson learned but so much fun up there! No mountain goats that day.

Glacier National Park "Going to the Sun Road"

About 52 miles long, winding around mountain sides and wait until you see the views!

The proposed route was first surveyed in 1918 and completed in 1932. Building this transmountain road, which was literally carved out of the precipitous mountainside for 12 of it's 50-mile length, was a challenging and dangerous task.

The winding road gains more than 1400 feet in 32 miles and crosses the Continental Divide.

Glacier National Park Going to the Sun Road

Glacier National Park is a hiker's paradise. We enjoy everything about Glacier Park. The Going-to-the-Sun-Road is just breathe taking!! Not open year round so when it opens in July we take advantage of it.
We love taking pictures of Glacier National Park!

 We always see the mountain goats up at Logan Pass and many other locations throughout the park.

We found some grizzly bears over by Many Glacier also.
