Devil Creek Campground, Flathead National Forest, Montana


Today I drove along the eastern side of Glacier and then up to Logan Pass along Going to the Sun Road.

The park is sort of like Rocky Mountain National Park in that it has 2 distinct sides – east and west – with a single road connecting them through the park.

Today I went into the Two Medicine area and saw the lake:



And Running Eagle Falls:



Then, I went upto St. Mary and started up the Going to the Sun Road. Just a bit is one of the more famous sites in the park, Wild Goose Island:




All of these places I visited on my way up to Alaska in 2013, so the pics are similar.

The cars coming the other way stopped and waited for him to cross while the line I was in stayed well enough behind that he just walked all the way – right down the centerline. After lunch, I took a nap – for 3 hours! That kind of did my day in.
