The creek flows into, what else, Lake McDonald! This lake is also about ten miles long and nearly 500 feet deep. It is the largest lake in the park. Surprisingly the temperature of the water at the shoreline was warm. I am sure the summer sun heats up the rocks and keeps the shallower depths warm. I would bet the center of the lake is c-o-l-d!

We stopped in West Glacier briefly to browse the gift shop before continuing on to our night's stay in Whitefish, Montana.
There you have it! A brief tour of the Going-to-the-Sun Road and some of the sights in Glacier National Park. It is a beautiful place that needs further exploration. We need to take the camper next time so we can spend more time hiking and seeing other areas of the park.
Great pic, Sally. I looked at your previous post and as I said earlier we were there in July last year and it was the first day the 'going to the sun road was open because of so much snow. Logan pass was snow up to you eyeballs and over. Beautiful. I loved being on the edge of the road looking down---beautiful. We stayed in Polson at Bob's son's place.
ReplyDeleteBut all in all---Isn't Glacier wonderful. I am glad you were there. MB

ReplyDeleteI love the aqua water in the second photo and the reflection of the mountains in the third. Nice to see you too.
ReplyDeleteI read your previous post and I would not like driving on that road. I don't like heights. Thanks for taking us along on your journey.
Have a great weekend.
