Today was quite the day! We hit the road about 9am and got back about 7pm. We drove for most of the time, with lots of pulling over in between as well as a boat tour of St. Mary's Lake. The scenery was breathtaking and very different from Yellowstone.
The weather changes on a dime and today was overcast, but I think that made for some awesome scenery. At some points you can almost touch the clouds because you're so high in the air and the clouds are so low when it's overcast.
The boat tour was fascinating as well. The tour guide knew a lot about the boat we were riding on (build in the 1920's) as well as the geology of the area. It was cool to be able to ask all your most pressing questions and get real answers. For example as we were driving here about 2-3 hours from arriving at Glacier a haze started covering everything. When I asked our guide about it today she said it was from the forest fires that had been taking place in Canada. Amazing how far it reaches!
Beautiful start to the day
Nick and Cathi
Mountain Goat, he's in a study. :) He has a tracker on his neck, so he kind of looked like a large Scottish Terrier with a collar. :)

Nick at the last minute decided he'd look crazy for this picture. lol.
