Going to the Sun

We are settled into an RV park for 3 nights but that doesn’t mean we sit still. Put in 160 miles today—mostly at less than 35 miles an hour. We went over the Going to the Sun Highway (otherwise known as Hairy Scary). Logan Pass was definitely worth the drive. We took a break for a hike through what they call the hanging gardens—to the Hidden Lake overlook. Even though the wildflowers were somewhat past prime, the meadows were still bright with primary colors. AND we got to see Mountain goats—one even came by and posed for a photo. The views of mountains and fog were spectacular. The trail was a steady stream of people. Though it was already well into afternoon when we came down from the hike, we continued on because we had to go to Many Glaciers (so said Fred) and we didn’t want to do another trip over this road. Finally found a place to park and did a short hike (2 mi) to look at some lakes: More gorgeous scenery AND we got to see bears –high up on the hill luckily. Came back home over the Going to Hail Highway. Wow! Luckily the storm was short. Now back at camp, Kit has gone to the shower and we are getting a thunder shower. He may be doubly wet.
