8/27 Drive to Glacier National Park

Montana has varied scenery, illustrated by my drive from Three Forks to the east side of Glacier National Park.  Here the highway cuts through a canyon in the mountains.

And then it exits abruptly into more open land. 

 
And this is definitely plains as far as the eye can see.

 

With a town in the distance in the trees.

And more mountains in the distance, Glacier in this case.

St Mary's Lake in the distance.  This is one of the eastern entrances to the park and the location of my campground here.

And finally, here we are.
