Day 7 - Going to the Sun

I take the title for today's post from the name of the road we traveled.  This is the road through Glacier  National Park that goes over the Continental Divide.  We saw breathtaking views (and we used to live in Denver, seeing lots of breathtaking views there), spectacular waterfalls, and wildlife.
Our first hike was a four-mile round trip to see St. Mary Falls and Virginia Falls.  They were different from each other, but both were well worth the hike.
We then drove on to our next hiking spot, pausing along the way to snap tons of photos.  Our second stop was at Logan Pass, where we joined the hoards hiking up above treeline to Hidden Lake Overlook.  This was a three-mile hike at higher altitude.  I don't do up very well but the end justified the effort.  Along the way we saw big horn sheep and quite a few mountain goats.  I'll have plenty of pictures to share when we get home.
I had planned on spending the night in Kalispell, but it was too early to stop for the day, so we pressed on.  Unfortunately, there is NOTHING for over a hundred miles, so by the time we stopped in Wallace, Idaho, we were hungry and exhausted.
Here are a few photos from Glacier, plus I finally was able to upload the pix from Great Falls, so they have been added to yesterday's post.
