Glacier, West Entrance
It was a dark and dreary day. Well, ok, the sun was shrouded in heavy clouds all day, but it was not all that dreary. Edgar Allan must have had a different mind set. We drove to the West Entrance. The Going to the Sun highway was closed about half way to the summit, so we did not get the spectacular views the park is known for. We drove alongside McDonald Lake and walked the Cedar Trail alongside Avalanche Creek. The pictures are of Avalanche Creek. J is intending to experiment with creating some fabric patterns based on nature. There are a few pictures of bark and rocks that she will work with.
Visiting Glacier in late October probably is not the best choice. No crowds though. I was told that the best time to visit is the week after Labor Day. I think any time in September would probably be good. I will post more pictures in the next post that I took at Marias Pass and at East Glacier.

I am mesmerized by the bark pictures. Very cool!
Darn... I would have loved to have seen some of those views. We went there on our honeymoon summer and Mrs T, subject to panic attacks, vowed never again on that road. She kept her word.
