Part of the Rocky Mountains, Glacier National Park sits on the US-Canadian border. It has 150 named peaks and 3 separate mountain ranges. I hoped to see moose and bear on this trip but no luck today! The skies were a bit hazy: there were a number of wildfires in the distance that spread smoke for miles.

| I love that the highway name is Going to the Sun Road. It took 2.5 million dollars to construct in just 12 years (don't think we could pull it off today!) The park opened in 1933. |
 |
| Not the moose I was hoping for, but these mountain goats were great fun to watch. |
 |
| These tour buses are called Jammers and were restored from the original 1930s buses and retrofitted by Ford to run on propane. |
 |
| We ended the day standing in a pristine and cold mountain stream. The water was so clear that you could see the colorful rocks as though looking through glass. |
