Day-22 Glacier

Carol and I went to Glacier maybe 45 years ago. It was not our best trip. We were camping in a tent and it rained most every day. We spent as much time drying clothing and sleeping bags as sight seeing.

The weather report for today was 50% chance of rain with afternoon clearing. We did have a bit of rain but since we were staying in a nice dry Inn it was less of a bother this time.

Going to the Sun Road, the main scenic drive through the park closes in the winter and was only reopened a little over a week ago. This was the latest opening on record. There is still a lot of snow in the high country and all of the streams and rivers are running high. Lots of seasonal waterfalls.

Excellent photo of Mt. Reynolds! You were in my backyard, and you lucked out to avoid the rain. We've had a lot of it this "summer".
