Glacier

Glacier National Park is stunning. Erin and I have seen some incredible geological sights on our trip, but Glacier ranks in the top five. It is so ancient and untouched looking (except for the road and all the tourists - but, seriously. it is). I can't imagine what Lewis & Clark must have thought on their expedition of the area in 1806.

The wildlife appear docile, but we kept our distance. On one of our hikes, we wandered upon some mountain goats and big horn sheep.

The roads go to pretty high altitudes, and into some pristine alpine forests. The road construction is also impressive, because it was built so high and in such remote locations. According to the Glacier web site:

Even today, visitors to the park marvel at how such a road could have been built. The final section of the Going-to-the-Sun Road, over Logan Pass, was completed in 1932 after 11 years of work. The road is considered an engineering feat and is a National Historic Landmark.

And it is well worth the drive.
