Going to the Sun Highway opening for 2010 was June 24th, 2010. I t was a beautiful day with blue sky and fluffy clouds. I arrives at the Big Bend west side opening at about 11:45 AM, 15 minutes from opening. The traffic was already backed up and overall it took me about 1 1/2 hours to get to Logan Pass. But every stop we had was enjoyable and I just soaked up the sun and took some photos. An antique car club was touring Glacier PArk that day so I grabbed a couple shots. I uploaded one of the shots to the slide show on the start page of the Northwest Montana site for FCVB.

The Going to the Sun Highway opened for the 2009 summer season on Friday June 26th. I visited all the main attractions on Saturday June 27th and everything is looking fantastic. There are a lot of wildflowers already in the lower elevations and seems like the bear grass is a bit more prevelant than in the past.

Glacier National Park, the "Crown of the Continent" is one of the most beautiful parks in the United States. Known for its scuplted mountian peaks that were carved from Glaciers sometimes on both sides of the mountain. Mt. Clements is one of the peaks. The "Red Bus" has grown to be a symbol of Glacier Park. On a nice day, the drivers will open the top so you enjoy the unparalled beauty of the park.

Going to the Sun Highway is an exciting, breathtaking 50 mile journey from one side of the Continental Divide to the other. The scenery is like nothing else in the world. Along the way you see Mountain Peaks, Glaciers, maybe a goat or two and sometimes maybe a Grizzly Bear, waterfalls and wildflowers and the Weeping Wall where water seams to come right out of the rock wall along the road side.
