GTTSR #2

Another great weekend for riding the Going-to-the-sun road. Besides Glacier Lilies this  

  

  

 time around we saw Trilliums, Spring Beauties, Paintbrushes and lots of varieties of violets. Three Bighorn Rams crossed the road just above the Weeping Wall, heading up, where else? Photos of the equipment, Clements Moutain and looking north up into the McDonald Valley and over Flattop Mountain.

Going to the sun road

It’s just under 100 klicks from the Camas Bridge to Logan Creek round trip. That’s where the Hiker/ Biker closure was. The plows have made it about a mile plus past the loop. A good sunburn was the reward of this first day of May and my first daffodil flowered out! There were some good slides along the road, I’m excited to go further up now.

Avalanche Lake

It was time to check out Avalanche Lake and Going to the Sun Road. There were only three miles of road allowed to bike past avalanche, but the views of the mountains made well up for it, as well as the goats and waterfalls, most of them still ice, at avalanche lake. Don’t miss an early bike ride on going to the sun road, it’s one of the best I can imagine!
