Today we spent the whole day in Glacier National Park. The first lodge on the "Going-T0-The-Sun-Road was the Lake McDonald Lodge build in 1914.
The "Going-To-The-Sun-Road" is listed as one of the best scenic drives in America and we were not disappointed. Yvonne was not too thrilled since there were numerous drop offs and the road was very narrow, but she survived. It was a 50 mile trip over the mountains from West Glacier to East Glacier. We saw numerous glaciers, only about 50 left today. In 1830 there were over 250 and they were much bigger.
The weather was cool today and at the top of Logan Pass it was in the low 40's. The sky was a bit too cloudy to get any great pictures, but hopefully you get the picture. Glacier was well worth going out of our way to visit. 
This lodge is the Glacier Park Lodge. It was build in 1912 by the Great Northern Railroad. If fact Amtrac still brings passengers to the hotel on a daily basis.
