Missoula - Glacier National Park, National Parks trip Day 5, July 2011

The destination for today was Glacier national park. On the way there we stopped twice...1st time to take a photo of a huge lake, 2nd time at the Bison Range...

Can you see the lake behind us? the biggest one on the west coast I think....or west of Mississippi...

2nd stop for the day was the bison range....What did we see? well...bunch of bison...The pile of bones at the entrance was pretty impressive.....:p

We got to Glacier national park and went to the lake which was close to the hotel inside of the park...Water was super clean there...

This reminded me of Canada...right next to the hotel in the park...

The tour bus in the park...

Newlyweds who had a wedding in the park...too bad they don't look too good...:p

There were people riding horses in the park...

While we were driving through the glaciers traffic was very bad due to road works...

Because of the traffic jam we were lucky to see those mountain goats right next to us while we were climbing up the mountains...very rare occasion....

According to what we read the glaciers will probably disappear around 2020...so we will have to come back before that if we still want to see any....


Finally tried the Huckleberry ice cream from one of the stores in the park...

Last shots of the glaciers before we headed out...

I guess this was one of the famous chains around the states we went through on this trip....had dinner here and called that the day....
