Glacier National Park

Glacier has many waterfalls.

This is Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Park. The road clings to the side of the mountains. It is an exciting road to drive with sheer drop offs. The road offers amazing vistas of the surrounding valleys. There are some fantastic hikes that overlook the road. The road is closed in the winter and has up to 350 feet (120 meters) of snow covering it in the spring. In April, surveyors go out and mark where the road is. Then crews come out and dynamite the snow off the road until there get close to the surface.

In this section, they had to build a bridge to cover a gap. This photo was taken as the sun was setting.

Another of the streams.
