Glacier National Park, Montana – Day 2

The motorhome is parked in the Apgar Campground of Glacier National Park near West Glacier, Montana.

Yesterday Mary and I drove the Bronco along 42 miles of the Going To The Sun Road in Glacier National Park including going over Logan Pass which is at 6,649 feet elevation. It was a cloudy with some sun kind of day. It was also quite hazy which did not help our photographic efforts. You can read all about this road by clicking this Wikipedia link… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going-to-the-Sun_Road

Here are some of the photos that I took yesterday…

Yesterday was a decent day. 81 degrees…humidity still far to high. Today’s forecast 83 degrees. YUCKITTY!

We’ll continue our westward travel later this morning.

Enjoying beautiful national parks is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!

Enjoying 65-75 degree temperatures with low humidity most of the year is a primary joy in the RVing lifestyle!

Glacier National Park, Montana – Day 1

Yesterday I drove the motorhome the 75 miles from Browning to Glacier National Park, Montana.

We continued traveling along U.S.Highway 2 West.

Here are some photos of pur trip along the way…

Approaching the Rocky Mountains…

Getting closer…

We unexpectedly came upon a herd pf Buffalo and no place to pull over. Mary grab her camera and shot this photo with her camera set on the wrong setting…

I doctored it up as much as I could then decided…let’s really make this look like long ago, so I turned it into a black and white photo…

After more than 1,000 miles of crossing the Great Plains where trees are few to be found, it felt a little strange to be among so many trees once again…

Now in the Rockies, we ran alongside the Flathead River…

We arrive at Glacier National Park…

We ended up in a nice pull-thru site. No utilities at the individual sites. With our Golden Age Pass camping is $10 a night. We’ll be here for two nights…

Here’s the usual dinette window photo…

We drove the Bronco the about 10 miles to MacDonald Lodge…

Mary really liked this table…

Where we boarded this boat for a one-hour Ranger-narrated MacDonald Lake cruise…

It’s so pretty here, it’s hard to take a bad photo…

This was one of my funnest days ever as a photographer. I really enjoy shooting colors, reflections, shapes and patterns that result in abstracts. On land, everything remains static. On water, everything is constantly changing. Here are some of the photos taken during the cruise…
