AK Trip - Day Six - Thursday, June 21st,

Glacier National Park

We left Colombia Falls and headed into the West Glacier entrance early. We had decided to pick up the National Park Stamp on the return from riding the Going to the Sun Road.

The Going To The Sun Road and Glacier NP lived up to its magnificant reputation and then some. The views from this road were nothing short of spectatular. The pictures below don't even begin to do it justice.

Personally I would rate Glacier in my top five parks. My only regret was that we only rode half of the road due to snow closure.

My apologies for some of the dark pictures. We rode in early on the shady side (west) of the park. A thundercloud seemed to follow us along the way. Fortunately, we rode rain free until we exited the park where we encountered a few sprinkles. To date the only rain we have encountered.

Port of Entry
Eureka, MT - Rooseville, BC Canada

After leaving Glacier NP we rode up the west side of the park stopping in Eureka, MT to trade for some Canadian money. Six miles later we made an uneventful border crossing at Rooseville, BC. We continued the ride into Invermere, BC where we spent the night.
