Tuesday at Glacier National Park

Tuesday, being the nicest day of the week we decided to drive up the Glacier National Park and see the glaciers and do a little hiking. when we got there Justin's parents took us up the "To The Sun Road". On the way up we took a bunch of pictures and stopped several times. The Road is so narrow that it feels like your going to fall off the cliff on one side. That road is one amazing feet of construction, which we happend to run into on the road.  they had to block off one side of the road due to how narrow and dangerous it was. Once we got to the top we looked for a place to park so we could have some lunch and due some hiking. There was so many people there that if we wanted to park we would have been waiting for several hours.So Justin's dad drove around and so we could get out and go to the bathroom and take some pictures. So we decided to turn around and go down from the top to a turn out where their was room to stop and eat some lunch. Here are some of the pictures that we took as we got up to the top and then some of the road and the visitor center at the top.









Then after lunch we decided to drive down and find a place to go hiking. We stopped at this place and looked at some blue pools of water and then we also found this bridge that crossed this river with waterfalls. It was so beautiful that we decided to do some hiking there. We followed a trail for some time and it was right along the river. We we got to a certian point Justin and I realized that this was the same trail that we had gone horse riding on when we had come up for our honeymoon. It was fun to see and talk about those memories from our honeymoon.
All in all it was a fun day getting to see all the glacers and go hiking. It was a good day.
