06-27


Yesterday we drove from Gardiner, Mt, the northern entrance to Yellowstone, to West Glacier located, strangely enough, on the west side of Glacier National Park. The drive was beautiful. We passed through cattle country and beautiful fields of wheat framed by mountains. This is Lewis and Clark country and many of the names date from their epic journey: Three Forks, The Bitterroots, Lolo Pass, the Jefferson, Madison and Gallatin Rivers and so many others. But it is the beauty of the country that takes you first, not its history. Wonderful light, expansive valleys and towering mountain ranges. Too bad the pullouts are not where the scenery is located but here is a shot of the big black bus and its pet Jeep.

That's a nice looking set-up there! It sounds like you're having a great time. I loved the Yellowstone photos. Looking forward to your Glacier ones!

Hi Buz, thanks for sending us the link to your blog. The photos are amazing, keep them coming. Everything is a lot greener when we were there the last week in May. We never get tired of Yellowstone and the Tetons.

We know you'll love Glacier also. Have a wonderful trip and stay safe.
