High Hopes

            It's peak shrouded by heavy rain clouds, Going-to-the-Sun Mountain is still an impressive feature in Glacier National Park.

During my visit here, the park crossing road, which is named for and travels around this mountain, was still closed to vehicular traffic.  I had so hoped to see much more of the splendor of the 'Crown of the Continent', but it was not meant to be.

I did stop for a brief hike on the Sun Point Nature Trail on the north bank of Saint Mary Lake.  The rain had stopped briefly when I started hiking, but returned about 10 minutes in.  That, combined with a ranger stopping by the parking lot to warn me of a grizzly sighting in the area, made me keep my visit on this side of the park short.  I hope to return at some point and see more of this amazing place.
