Glacier National Park

After leaving Seattle we traveled to Missoula Montana and then headed to Glacier National Park. It was a beautiful drive up into the mountains.







Lots of beautiful lakes, rivers and waterfalls.









It was a very windy day at Lake McDonald. Not quite as pretty as glassy water would have been.





This canyon had a lot of Mountain Goats. The white dot on the cliff below is a goat.













An interesting fact that was noted is that 150 years ago there were 180 glaciers. Now there are only 25 and they will all be gone by 2030.











Check out the little red bird on the exposed roots below. Very pretty.













This a great place to visit. Beautiful scenery. Nice trip.
