NEW photos from Glacier National Park

Happy Wednesday!

I promised to post a few more photos of the beautiful scenery we saw while visiting Glacier National Park. We thought if we visited after Labor Day, there would be fewer people. Well….if that was fewer people, I’d hate to go in peak season!!! Wowza, that’s a popular place! Maybe everyone had the same idea as we did?!?

A trip isn’t successful without shooting some tree art:

Our next trip isn’t until December. Can I survive??? :o)

Have a terrific day and I hope you do or learn something NEW today!

Updated Bucket Lists (Waterfalls & National Parks)

Happy Monday!

It’s update time! I get to cross Glacier National Park off our National Parks bucket list and add multiple waterfalls to my 100 Waterfalls Bucket List.

We visited Glacier National Park last week. We were thrilled to see the northern lights while we were there! We had a terrific time hiking and biking, eating huckleberry pie, huckleberry ice cream and huckleberry bear claw pastries! The weather in the 60s was perfect hiking weather. It was an excellent week!

I officially added 3 waterfalls to my waterfall bucket list, but we saw multiple random waterfalls. For instance, while driving on Going to the Sun Road, we saw water pouring over rocks several times.

Here’s my official three:

Baring Falls:

St Mary Falls (someone needs to remove that random log that obstructs the view, right! :o):

And here’s Virginia Falls:

I’ll post more photos of the beautiful scenery of Glacier National Park in the next few days.

Here’s the updated NP list. 26 down, 37 to go!
