We finally made it here today and it’s been a dream come true for us both but only one of us knew how outstanding the whole park and surrounding areas are. The great news is that now both of us know! Even though the “Going-to-the-Sun” Road isn’t open yet (probably not until July but they really don’t know when because of snow), we drove up about fourteen miles along the West side of Glacier.

But before we even get to Glacier National Park, we drive from Kalispell, Montana because it’s one of the prettiest drives anywhere and especially with such a magnificent destination awaiting our arrival!

Driving from Kalispell to Glacier National West Gate seeing these mountains is life changing!

Jenni was a happy young woman when we got to the Park entrance! She looks so cute in this chair!

Inside the Park, we drove up to Lake McDonald Lodge built in early 1900’s.
