One of the highlights of any trip to Glacier Park is driving on "Going to the Sun Road" that meanders through the park through spectacular scenery. On this particular day, an old 1912 car was as much an attraction as the scenery. I wish I had a nickle for every picture taken of the car today on that road!
A view of "Going to the Sun Road".
Joe filling a jug with water from a waterfall just beside the road. They had been doing construction on the road and had us waiting about 15 minutes before they let us through. Joe had left the car running and it started to get a little hot so he decided to add water to the radiator. Had there not been road construction, there would not have been any problem at all with overheating. The car performed beautifully all the way.
Betty and the E-M-F beside the road near the top.
Mountain stream showing the beautiful and unique turquoise of glacial snow melt. It is the most amazing sight. The streams were clear and the lakes so clear you could see the rocks on the bottom way out from shore until the lake bottom was so deep it was just turquoise to dark blue.
Just one of many types of wildflowers in bloom in the park. These were a lavender purple with bright blue at the tips. Just beautiful.
Glacier Park was spectacular! I have wanted to visit the park since I was a teenager and this was a dream come true. What better way to visit than in a 1912 E-M-F, just toodling along enjoying the scenery!
