Going to the Sun Highway

The main reason for going through northern Montana was to get to the eastern entrance to Glacier National Park.  And the eastern entrance to the Going to the Sun Highway.  Going to the Sun Highway is about 50 miles long and starts near ST. Mary Montana.  The road is narrow in spots and there are several construction projects that make short portions of the road one way.  That and the tour buses (small buses but tour buses) make the trip a little tedious. 

Having said, that, its well worth the ride.  Its not quite as spectacular as Bear tooth Highway on Bear tooth mountain, but it is different and special.   Carved by glaciers long years ago, the area abounds with deep canyons and high peaks which are sharp and pointed.

Well pictures are better than words.  In some places I could have easily reached out and touched the rock wall along the roadway.

I also have some videos from the bike mounted camera.  I don't know if I can post them here.  The files are large.  But here are some stills.
