End of the day

We got to Glacier National Park late in the day so we didn't get to explore much.  We essentially just drove through the park and the follow pictures are a sample of what we saw.

 There were two or three bighorn sheep right along the road so we stopped and took some pictures of them.

 The picture above shows a good view of the road as it winds around the mountain.

 This is a picture of St Mary's lake.  As you can see the light is fading so it's not a very good picture.

 The shot above and below are on the Many Glacier road where we were staying. Pictures like this is where I need a tripod because I cannot hold the camera still enough for the pictures to be good and sharp.

Here are a few shots from the next day.

  We hike a trail just down the road from where our lodging was and the shot above is pretty typical of the scenery we saw while hiking.

 This was a lake we came across while hiking.

Probably doesn't qualify as a water fall but it a pretty area.

 After our hike we went to another lodging area where we stayed the last time we were there.  This is what we saw when  walking to the motel.

 Looks like he's posing for us doesn't it?

This was just outside of the motel.

Later that day we saw the fellow below.

A good way to end the day in Glacier

As you can probably see these pictures were taken as the days comes to an end.  The grizzly in the first picture was far away so I couldn't get a good picture of him.  He was eating something but I couldn't tell even looking at him through my binoculars.  All the pictures were taken as we made our way back to our lodging place and the sun was getting low in the sky.

More vacation

 Don't remember exactly where this shot was...somewhere in Montana.  Okay, my daughter just corrected me. the falls are Upper Mesa Falls in Targhee National Forest in Idaho.  I'm glad she has a good memory. :)

Vacation 2007

These pictures are all from our vacation in 2007. Our destination that year was Yellowstone National Park but we wanted to see more than the park so we flew into Billings, MT. We picked up our car and head west but not on the interstate. The pictures below are from one of our stops along the way. I wish it was possible to capture how beautiful it really was with a camera but it isn't. However, using your imagination maybe you can get a better idea.
