A really Favorite Drive.
One of the top 10 in the United States.
As listed by many magazines, and myself.

No travel trailers allowed on this road.
Middle section, well above the valley
Enlarge, and look at the pickup on the right,
for a sense of perspective.

Beautiful views, thanks for sharing this road trip with sky watch friday, it is really lovely.
What an absolutely gorgeous place. Like Heaven on Earth. Not to sound stupid though, where is this place located? I've never heard of it.
Troy: Beautiful captures at the park, nicely captured.
It really is a beautiful place and I think your photos give a fine taste of what can be seen there. In fact, they make me want to pack my bags and head west right now. Well done!
I'm salivating. What a landscape.
It does have have a really wide open freedom feel throughout the images. Great stuff.
Great pictures Of Glacier Nat'l Park and the Going to the Sun road. I have been there and I just loved the place.
Wow, I'll bet you felt like you were driving to the sun. What an awesome valley, nice sky too. No wonder it's no trailers. Magnificent!
The earth is a beautiful place. Thanks for reminding me.

This was the highlight of a month-long vacation when I was 16. I know I would love it more now. Your photos make me want to go now!
GTTS Road is only one of the wonderful things about Glacier National Park - the very best, most beautiful park in North America. Forget Yellowstone or Yosemite - go to Glacier. It is so wild and desolate it is really only open to most of us during July through September. Before or after that, GTTS Road is closed usually due to snow! The drive is beautiful, but the hikes are magnificent. Try www.glacierparkchat.com for many more awesome pictures!

That's someplace I've always wanted to visit. Leon has been there several times, and we keep talking about visiting together. Your pictures are inspiring.
Raw, beautiful country isn't it? Great pictures. Pappy
I grew up not far from Glacier. and we used to go there every summer.. thanks for the wonderful memories
Stunning images, I see what you mean about the size of the truck in comparison, very cool.
Troy and Martha, what a beautiful place! I definately need to go here. I want to have that eagle's eye view of the sky and the valley below!
