We have arrived! We'll stay in Glacier National Park from Sep 15th through the 19th.

As soon as we pulled into our campsite, some deer wandered by. We took that as a good omen.

Our site C123 was a large pull-through with nice privacy. We rented a Tesla via the Turo app, and had it delivered to our site.
Then we celebrated Chris’ birthday with a great steak dinner.

The next day we headed out on our bikes to explore the area around the campground.

The first stop was the south shore of Lake McDonald.

Having been created by a glacier, the water was crystal clear, and the bottom was covered with smooth rocks.

The fleet of 1930s vintage 'Red Jammer' Buses in Glacier is considered to be the oldest touring fleet of vehicles anywhere in the world. They were named for the sound their original transmissions made as drivers 'jammed' the gears over mountain passes.

We stopped in Apgar Village for a little shopping, and bought a Christmas ornament and a Glacier jigsaw puzzle. And of course we had to try some of their famous huckleberry ice cream!

Energized by the ice cream, we pedaled onward.

We stopped where the bike path crosses McDonald Creek. This view is looking upstream to the north towards the lake, which is just around the bend . . .

. . . and this is looking downstream towards the Apgar Mountains in the south.

The next closest campsite is about 60 feet ahead. Nice spacing.

The next morning we began our drive on the famous Going-to-the-Sun Road.

The road is a real feat of engineering, and includes quite a few tunnels.

This is a 'window' in one of the tunnels. It wasn't created for the view; it was just an opening for tossing out dirt and rocks during construction of the tunnel.
