Off to drive through Glacier National Park on the 55 mile Road to the Sun. It is the first day it has been open this season. A beautiful, sunny day we started early (for us) at 9:30 a.m.

Scenery is spectacular.
A mule deer meandered by for a late breakfast. She didn't seem too concerned with us.
We ran into this fellow on his way to the Arctic Circle. He was cooking his breakfast at the side of the road. His bed was still made up in the back seat of his car. We're all pretty sure we will run into him again along the way.
This guy was actually in the parking lot of the Visitors Center at Logan's Pass.
A Park Ranger had to shoo him across the road away from the mob of tourists armed
with cameras.
Some of his friends were waiting higher up.
The last of the snow was removed only yesterday, thus first day of road opening today.
Melting snow along the road was like driving through a waterfall.
A quick stop at the Lake McDonald Lodge. Red open-topped touring cars carry tourists across the Road to the Sun. (We enjoyed driving our own car so we could stop wherever and whenever we wanted)
Boat trips on Lake McDonald were also available
This Falcon was sitting on the river bank fishin' as Heidi would say.
Beautiful wild flowers everywhere you look. These are called beargrass.
What a great country we live in. We'll be leaving it tomorrow for Canada....but we'll be back soon!!!!!!
Good Night Y'all
