After trying daily at 8:00 am MDT for weeks to purchase an online $2/7-day ticket to enter Glacier NP, I finally succeeded for this week, whew.  The 375 tickets available each day would sell out in the first minute.

The park is beyond crazy-crowded, and the Visitor Centers have long lines; so we’ve only been sight-seeing from our car and at viewpoint parking areas/pullouts.  Which, of course, does not disappoint!

Here’s a peek through my lens into Glacier NP, taken at an unmarked pullout along the famous ‘Going-To-The-Sun Road‘ scenic drive.  You can see the road we came from on the right, half way up the foreground mountain.  The skies are oh-so smoky….

It’ll take some time to review my 800+ photos already taken, and I really want to wait.  There’s not much hope with the smoke forecast that one of the next couple days clears up to go back in, so I’ll be trying again on Sunday to buy another ticket for another week before we leave the area.  To get clearer photos would be so much better to share, we’ll see!

In the meantime, I’ve got plenty to go back to and share of photos taken in previous weeks…..  🙂
