We hope to see many of the historic old lodges around Glacier and throughout the Canadian Rocky's, but will probably not see them all. As you enter GNP on the east side you are welcomed by a grand old lodge that sits next to the Amtrak depot. The second was in West Glacier after a long and very beautiful ride on the Going to the Sun Road. The road just opened this week so we were some of the first to see Logan's Pass, along with several hundred others including a few snow boarders, enjoying the warm air and hard pack snow. We chose the free shuttle the first time over and it was a great ride with many stops.
Later in the week on one of our only rainy days, we took a drive to the Many Glaciers area and found the Many Glacier Lodge set on an alpine lake with a large mountain just across the bay. The scene was like that of a Norwegian Fjord. One of our favorites was after a steep climb above Waterton Lake (CA) where Gary found a nicely framed shot of the Chateau through the trees. The views from the top were worth the hike!
