Glacier National Park #2

After a day of rest & camping yesterday, today we took a ride on Hwy 2 over to the east side of the national park at East Glacier, then Hwys 49 and 89 to St. Mary and the east entrance. The scenery on this side of the park seems a little different - maybe more open so the majesty of the surrounding mountains seem to stand out more.







The most photographed spot in Glacier National Park is Wild Goose Island in St. Mary Lake.





Another landmark on the east side of the park is Jackson Glacier. Of course, it is receding like the other glaciers in the park. At one time there were over a hundred, now there are only about 25, and they predict that by 2020 they will all be gone.



We drove up to Logan Pass from the east side and the view from this vantage point is awesome.



This whole national park is breathtaking - truly some of God’s greatest beauty. Around every turn there’s more splendor. Here’s a couple more scenery shots just to round out this post.





Tomorrow we’re on the move again.
