Sunday
We packed up and left West Glacier so that we could have a look at the Eat side of the park. As the road through the park was still closed (we have heard that the snow is still more than 20 ft thick at the top, with one area 80ft deep) we could drive round to the south on US 2. This is a very pretty stretch of this road, which also took us across the Continental Divide.
We arrived at our pretty campground in East Glacier before lunch, even though we had stopped for a coffee at a wayside cafe on the way. Just to show you how late summer arrives here, the cafe had only opened for the season on the previous Friday - June 6th.
As we had the rest of the day we decided to make the drive up to Many Glaciers today, so tht we could move on tomorrow, giving us a day in hand for the next part of our trip to Yellowstone.
we had a wonderful drive up 49, past Two Medicine Lake and onto 83, through Johnson and then into Many Glaciers. The views were spectacular and we really enjoyed just sitting looking at the mountains, lakes and waterfalls in this pretty area.
On the way back we stopped at St Mary's, taking a very pleasant meal in the Snowgoose Grill.
So pleased you got to see the other side, really late snow, you will have to return later to go over the Going to the Sun Road! You know, backtrack like we do! More fab photos, you really seem to be having superb weather and so very pleased for you x
