Glacier National Park

This morning began with a very healthy breakfast--egg whites, steamed veggies, tea....and...well...huckleberry pie.  I found a restaurant called Bojangles that was recommended for its pie.  After being seated at the counter, I asked the waitress if it was too early for pie, so I'd know how to order.  With sparkling blue eyes, she quickly replied, "It's NEVER too early for PIE!"  I knew I'd found the right spot.

After filling up the dessert-tank, Max and I departed to Glacier National Park.  On our way we passed two helicopter tour businesses.  All of a sudden the car veered off the road and into the helicopter tour parking lot.  At the exact same time, Max gave me "potty eyes."  So, I had to get out and take him for a walk.  While I was giving Max some time, a very nice man came out to tell me all about his helicopter business.  Knowing that Going To The Sun Road was closed, I thought I'd listen because this would be a great way to see the park without being able to drive very far in.

So, I said, "Okay, let's go!"  And we did...






It was too windy to get above the Continental Divide, but this trip was absolutely worth it.  Such beauty, I cannot believe, except that I saw it with my own eyes.



Here is the car from above the helicopter business.


Max says, "woof."  This means---I love Glacier!


Fall colors on the ground.

Onward and upward!
