Day 21 - St. Mary, Montana - Glacier National Park

We made it to Glacier National Park this afternoon. We haven't had much of a chance to see the park yet but will start tomorrow morning. Sadly and a real surprise, we can only go 13 miles into the park (it's 50 miles from one side to the other) because the road is closed due to too much snow. They had a lot of snow this past winter and the melt off has been slower than expected. The headline in the local paper today says that avalanches are slowing the clearing of the road. With views like this one, I'm sure we will see all that we need to see. IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!
