In 1981 I was working on Marine Corps helicopters and received a post cards from my grandparents, Lark and Louise. It was an amazing photo of the Going-to-the-Sun Highway in Glacier National Park. I decided right then I needed to see that some day. Unlike waiting 35 years to see Alaska, I went to Glacier just a couple of years later on a great road trip after my June wedding in 1983. I recall some of the vista being unmatched by anything I've seen to date.
Today, a good portion of the Logan pass road is closed because they are still removing SNOW ! They apparently also discriminate against people who buy RVs longer than 22 feet. We made it as far as Avalanche. Stopped and had lunch on the lake shore and sat in awe of the mountains.
The ONLY reason I'm moving on today is because this expedition is supposed to be an Alaska adventure, right!?
Enjoy the pix and the upside down video! Drop me a line.
Wow! Absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLOL @ discriminating RVs. I live about an hour away from GNP and we go up there often. Sometimes it's hard to pass cars in my Wrangler on the Sun Road. I hope you're having fun. I'd love to visit Alaska sometime as well.
