Going-to-the-Sun Road, Montana

Tam and I rented two electric bikes and hired a guide, then set out to Going To The Sun Road. We started on the West side of Glacier National Park from Avalanche parking lot. The trip started with a small incline, and we stopped along the way for photo opts.

After a few miles, the road became steeper and the views more amazing.

This is Haystack Butte.

Our guides stopped and did snow Angles.

We really started going up and found out why the road is closed to cars until around late June. They remove the guardrails in the fall so the ice and snow does not damage the guardrails. They spend May and June putting the guardrails back and cleaning the road.

Once at the top we ran into big horn sheep and a many deer.

Capilano Suspension Bridge and Park Purchased by George MacKay in 1889, the 6,000 acres of forest had a beautiful Capilano river flowing right through the middle of the property. George and his team pulled ropes across the river and erected a suspension bridge. Tam is standing on the Cliffwalk which is 30 stories above the river. I am on the Cliffwalk and removed the people in the photo with Google Photos Edit application. Raptors are brought in to show and educate the visitors. A lady sat with this bird on her glove speaking with anyone that would listen. Very cool. Tam standing on the porch of a 150 year old house cut from logs in the area.
