Going to the sun

Wednesday morning we checked out of Many Glacier Hotel and headed through Glacier Park, via Going to the Sun Road.

It's impossible to drive over the pass and not see many of these vehicles - they are restored historic busses with roll-tops so they're convertible too! Tourists can buy a seat for a tour through the park.

Ford restored them and now they run on propane. Neat!

While driving over the pass we couldn't resist the photo ops.

Once we reached the top, we took a hike to Hidden Lake.

Along the way we saw mountain goats ...

And big horn sheep.

Hidden Lake was well worth the hike.

The beauty in the park will always amaze me.

While taking photos, this little guy wanted to join in the fun.

Once we got to Apgar, a town on the southwest side of the park, the boys skipped a few rocks and we enjoyed Lake McDonald.

Corey and dad opted for adrenaline with a white water raft trip down Flathead River.

Mom and I got the location for good photos - so we met them at "Bone Crusher" for some action shots.


They tossed ...

And turned and got very wet.

But they survived Bone Crusher!

Looks like they had fun :) Corey and dad are in the front row - Corey on the left, dad on the right.

At one point in the ride, a 70-year old woman in their boat, fell out in a rapid and had to float down the river until they could safely retrieve her. This is no Disney Land ride!

Wednesday evening we arrived at Grandma Katy's house, where we spent the next four nights. While in Kalispell/Whitefish, MT, we kayaked, hiked, golfed and shopped ... stay tuned for more photos.
