Bucket List: Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park
Can I just say "WOW!"? Bucket List worthy? YES! YES! YES! This was absolutely worth every single hour of driving to get there. An incredible, adrenaline-pumping, awe-inspiring (no really, true awe), breathtaking, stop-and-reexamine-your-life, inspiring experience. Why Should You Go See It? Why should you not?

I espied a small sign for a picnic area and jumped at the chance to let them stretch their legs. I drove down into the trees to a small, completely vacant parking lot. No people!! There was a flat, grassy area with picnic

Peace and Quiet: Glacier National Park - St Mary Campground
Glacier National Park St Mary Campground Loop A. Site 08 Stayed: September 5, 2016 This was an unplanned site, but a wonderful one. After driving Going-to-the-Sun Road West to East, I found myself on the other side of the mountains with no plans for where to stay that night. Part of me really wanted a hotel bed after so many hours in the car. After asking around in St Mary, however, it seemed like a delightful idea to stay a night in Glacier National Park itself.
