I was surprised at how narrow the road (Going to the Sun Road - neat name too!) is going through Glacier National Park. This is actually one of the wider places, lol. There are a few tunnels, one lane, with traffic lights allowing one side through at a time. Our first day there we had a gorgeous sky!
The next day, cloudy - was supposed to rain all day but we stayed dry most of the day.
I think it would be scary-cool to travel the road on a motorcycle!
But when we pulled over to take a peek I was more than a little nervous - look how close he parked me to the edge! I was a little scared I would get dizzy and topple over, lol.
And it's a loooooong way down! Personally I loved that there weren't rails trapping us back, we were able to feel the thrill - but I was surprised at the lack of rails.
How wonderful to travel through such a majestic area.
ReplyDeleteAnd your are taking us along here with those fantastic photos.
Right up to that wonderful peak.
I'm just glad I don't have to climb those anymore :-)
I was driving the GTTS road several times this past September while in Glacier. It was narrow, but for some reason it didn't seem precarious to me...perhaps because there weren't many switchbacks? I dunno. I definitely wouldn't want to travel it in bad weather though!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I'm scared just looking at those pics. What gorgeous scenery, though so its worth the scare.
ReplyDeleteSo that's what it looks like. We missed going there because the road was closed due to an avalanche. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI want to go there so bad...it truly looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm terrified of heights but that is so beautiful I could deal with it just to see such an incredible sight.
ReplyDeleteWhat terrific scenery. That first photo is beautiful with such a lovely sky.
ReplyDeletethese are incredible views. i'd love to be able to travel so i could see all these wonderful places you & Dennis get to go to. until then i'll enjoy these trips through you & your wonderful photography. have a great day.
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks for the trip. I haven't been to Glacier since I was young, you know 100 years ago. This road reminds me of the Road To Hana in Maui, scary.
ReplyDeleteOh what beautiful pictures. I took up rock climbing to try and get over my fear of heights. Let me tell you, this road would scare me too!!
ReplyDeletegreat scenerys and a dramatic road to travel. Seems scary to me standing on the edge looking down but I'm pleased you took us there :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots! I remember traveling that road with children on a family vacation. It is amazing territory! I loved the monkey flowers which were blooming at the top of this road, and the mountain goats by the side. Thanks for the memories!
ReplyDeletewow! stunning scenery
ReplyDeleteOh my what a thrilling journey you had! Really beautiful scenery!
ReplyDeleteMakes me dizzy just looking at the pictures!
ReplyDeleteIsn't this an amazing road? It is one of the reasons my family moved to Montana ... and every time we show it to someone, they are blown away. It is scary though!
ReplyDeleteO what incredible, beautiful views at every turn! Very scary but so exciting too!
ReplyDeleteWOW - I am scared of heights and probably would have toppled over! The scenery is certainly breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great view! Nice shots.
ReplyDeleteI don't like heights (mainly because there's a chance I can faaallllll), so I would probably have rolled down the window and shot from inside the car. :)
WOW ~ FABULOUS captures!
ReplyDeleteOh, my. I'm feeling dizzy just looking.
ReplyDeleteA little too close to the edge for me. Just looking at your pictures, I felt dizzy. Looks like it was a gorgeous day, though!
