Once at the top you have to fight the crowds to get a parking spot. We actually set the alarm this morning in order to get up early enough to get parked. Then we had to battle with the sheep.
Today we hiked the Highline Trail. It goes for quite a ways, following but high above the highway. We decided to go a total of 8 miles, so at mile 4 we turned around. Speaking of "E" tickets, the crowds here are as bad as Disneyland. It makes sense, since there is such a short window of opportunity. This park is accessible for a really short time due to weather; the road is usually open for only three months a year. The hiking is spectacular though.
We're having a lot of fun so far. One of our biggest problems has turned out to be finding the best wine to pair with our s'mores. We're experimenting again tonight.

It looks like you two are having a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are enjoying yourselves. Wow! Disneyland, really? Makes sense. Send pics. I did get your message. Sorry, didn't call back. Will have to Skype again. And as for the wine that pairs with Smores good luck with that! Ha Ha.
ReplyDeleteI love how your text mentions all these crowds and fighting for parking, and your pictures show an empty parking lot, and a cool, empty section of trail.
ReplyDeleteWell,in an attempt to avoid the crowds we left at 0630. I wish I had a picture of the parking lot when we returned. The pics on the trail were timed just right. It's pretty crowded.
DeleteDave/Sue: I can tell you really are discovering the beauty of Glacier Park. My favorite in the US. Sorry to read about crowds, as we saw little of them during our late June visit a few years ago when snow was on all the hills. Love the photo of Sue hiking on edge of cliff. Life Insurance all paid up?
