Mountains, no bikes

Post by cjw50310 »

Or tractors. Took a week to drive up to Glacier National Park in Montana, as well as a day's side trip to Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta. Ended up taking far too many pictures, as you do. Had to make due with a point and shoot as I realized about three hours after leaving home I left the good camera home. :((

These were all in the park proper - it's a breath-taking spot.

Me (on the left) and my housemate - the lake below really was that blue. The elevation difference between us and the lake was about 1100 feet at that point.

Felt kind of like a Hobbit on the way to Mordor this day...

Montana can be very flat too.

We drove this time around, but 13 hours each way is a fair hoof. Might have to fly out next time.

Thanks for looking,
Chris

Thank goodness you didn't have your good camera, Chris. I'd have been in tears :lol:

I can't remember when I last saw photos that gave me such a longing to be there. Totally amazing scenery. I really envy you that trip and to my mind driving would make it even better because it would have given you a better feeling of distance.

It reminded me that I did see a bit of the Canadian Rockies a few years back when I drove to Banff from Calgary but I think your photos trump my memories of the mountains.

I'm sure you'll be going back with your good camera - just give me a bit of notice before posting the next set so that I don't get too much of a shock :lol:

Than you for posting those.

Ian :)
