Glacier is Awesome !!!

Our first day in Glacier National Park was awesome to say the least.  I had read about the park and it is everything I hoped for.  Hundreds of waterfalls, an amazing road, vistas that take your breath away and more.  Here comes a bunch of photos to back-up what we saw today.

We entered from the West side.

McDonald Creek is one rapid or falls after another.

Avalanche Creek

We stopped at the junction of Avalanche Creek and McDonald Creek and had our picnic lunch overlooking the water and mountains.  It was a nice day starting in the low 70's and reaching the 90's by the end of the day.

We enjoyed several small hikes but considering it's only 5 days since my heart surgery we kept our walks short.  We didn't have to walk far to see amazing sights.

We walked a little ways up Avalanche Creek to see an old log cabin.  It was rustic but had a billion dollar view.

This several hundred foot waterfall is the billion dollar view.

At times the roads are barely the width of two sedan sized vehicles.  The 25MPH speed limit seems high because there is usually a cliff on one side and a rock wall on the other.  Combined with hairpin turns and at times no centerline it's every person for themselves.

Between a rock and a hard spot.

By afternoon it was hot and Eva wanted to stand in the river.

The roads are lined with a flat top stone walls.  At every stop Eva had to hop up to get a better view.  We hold on tight but there is no stopping a confident puppy, so we let her have her way.

These falls continue right under the road.

I end by saying my very sincere.... Life is good.
