Anniversary Trip - Glacier Views

Even more pics of and from the Going-to-the-Sun Road. My previous posts have a link that tells about the building of this road. It's fascinating to see. These photos are just some of the views we enjoyed.


I think this is Birdwoman Falls. It comes from a hanging valley (if I am correct.)

This is Hidden Lake. This is taken from the Hidden Lake Overlook, an approximate 2 mile hike at Logan Pass, where we were headed when we saw Big Horn sheep and mountain goats.

This is Heavenly Peak. The glacier was gleaming...kind of looked like aluminum foil. The glaciers are rapidly retreating. They feel they will be gone in 25 years.

Happy Anniversary!

Well, we've made it 7 years! Hard to believe that much time has gone by. We went on an anniversary trip last week. More on that in a later post...

This is the pic we like to call our Prince and Princess photo. I think Michael looks like a prince with his bow tie and tux. I'm just the girl who got lucky enough to get him...

This is our formal wedding pic.

We went to Glacier National Park for our honeymoon. This is on the Going-to-the-Sun Road in a field of wildflowers.

And this was the next day before we rode up the Going-to-the-Sun Road...16 miles uphill from The Loop to Logan Pass. Puff, puff! This year on our trip, we saw the results of the fires of the past few years. The beautiful green pines you see in the background are all gone...well, burned out sticks actually. I believe that fire was in 2003...could be wrong.
