Day 11 - Glacier National Park (part 1)

The plan was to drive from the east side to west side of the park over Going-to-the-sun Highway which is supposed to be one of the most beautiful roads anywhere. However, when we woke up it was overcast and looked more like Going-into-the-clouds highway. By the time we reach Logan Pass (the contential divide) you could only see about one car length. We thought the day was pretty much a waste, it was cold, wet, and you couldn't see anything. On the way down the clouds parted a little, then more and the ride down was beautiful.

On the way down the clouds start to part.

The view looking west down the valley coming down from Logan Pass.

Even with the valley starting to get some sun, the top peaks were still stuck in the clouds.
