A Day of Wows!

When you think that it can't see anything more beautiful, you do. We had visited Glacier National Park many, many years ago when the girls were small. (It is so far back we can't even remember!) What we do remember is that we loved it, even though it was a cloudy day on that trip. Today, we saw the park with crystal, clear blue skies contrasting with the deep green vegetation and an abundance of waterfalls running. We walked a trail or 2 and pulled off when we could. (The park seemed extra full today.) There were mountain goats grazing too. One gentleman told us that down the mountain (before we got to that point) there was a grizzly bear near the highway. I attempted to download a picture or 2 but the computer said NO. Maybe another time.

After Glacier National Park, we headed north into Canada. We passed wide open spaces of nothing but cattle and grain fields. The grain is still green but was waving in the breezes.

Tonight, we are in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and will head into Banff National Park in the morning.

pictures--we want more pictures!! :) Oh, and I do remember when we visited Glacier. There was someone that got pulled down out of a tree by a bear and I learned what a glacier was.
