Fort Macleod

We proceeded north to Glacer Nation Park. There was a lot of road work going on most of the way there. At times we were driving on temporary roads made of gravel. We stopped for lunch at this view point over looking Flathead Lake.

 

Shortly after that we became part of a convoy of vehicles behind a pilot car going over a streach that had just been resurfaced. That slowed us down as we went around the lake.

 

 

Glacier National Park was next. We took the Road to the Sun route across the mountains. We timed our vacation just right because the Road to the Sun is closed most of the time because of ice and snow. It opened completely on Friday, 23 June. This is a two lane road that winds through the park. Past the mountain lakes and up the mountains to Lassen Pass and over 6000 ft. That road was mighty narrow at times! But is was worth it. Spactacular views!
