We were staying at the KOA in my brother's "Big Rig" motor home at St Mary's and had to rent a suburban so as to accomodate my niece's baby seat, two moms, my brother and his wife and me. We drove the road both ways, going from the east side and turning around just after heading down on the west side. We got out quite a bit as there is just so much to take in. It's nice that no one on this road is in a hurry so the traffic, though somewhat plentiful, is polite.
It was an absolutely glorious day with lots of wildflowers in bloom and some mountain goats out and about. We did get out at the Visitors Center at Logan Pass and spend 1/2 hour or so. We were lucky to find parking as it is very crowded mid day. The glacier lillys were amazing.
This drive is a "must do" if you get near Glacier Park. I always take it even if it's slightly out of the way as I am going from Kalispell to the east side or visa versa. |

For me, sometimes it's just as much about the journey as the destination.
Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled. |
