Glacier national park...under construction

The day started a little rocky.  Just out of Great Falls, I was busy looking at the map and failed to notice that the speed limit had dropped from 70 to 45, but a state trooper did notice.  He brought it to my attention but took pity on me as he said that he didnt like giving two pieces of bad news.  The second being that we were off course, we had missed our turn miles back.  As we approached glacier, the scene was set by falls early colors showing in the blazen Aspen forests in the foothills of the Continental Divide.  We made our way in the Eastern entrance to the park to make the approach to Logans Pass.  The going to the sun road is closed for a good portion of the western part of the park.  What I did not know is that they are also doing paving work on the Eastern side of the park as well.  So we sat parked in a long line of cars waiting for our turn to go up and back on the one open lane.  Regardless of the construction, the views, just as I remembered them were magnificent.  The snow capped some of the taller peaks and added to the view.  On our hike over Logan Pass to Hidden Lake, we came across a small pack of Long Horned Goats having a lovely meal of meadow grass.  We headed back to the Western side of the park to set up camp and have dinner, a wood fire grilled entree of teriyaki steak skewers and grilled asparagus, who says you can eat well while camping.  Tomorrow morning we head off to ride horses down a stream to Lake Macdonald.  Sarah is giddy with anticipation.
