Entering Montana was like driving into a scenic painting. Mountains, rivers, pastures, lakes, wide open spaces…. I really also want to say cowboys as well but much to my disappointment they were sadly lacking.
We found our Airbnb in Coram which was not only cosy and comfortable but also only 15 minutes from Glacier National Park. Our time here was again spent in awe of America’s landscape as we explored the park and drove along the Going-To-The-Sun Road, also known as the Sun Road.
An 80km/50mi scenic road that runs along the Rocky Mountains from the west to the east side of the park, the Sun Road opened in 1932 and is classed as one of the most scenic drives in the USA. And deservedly so. The scenery is like artwork and the hundreds of tourists who flood the park by 8.00am each morning during the summer are testimony to the beauty the park offers. The vista from Logan Pass (which at 2,026 m/6,646 ft is located on the Continental Divide and is the highest elevation point on the Sun Road) is spellbinding. I’m afraid photos do not do it justice.
Our day in Glacier National Park was nicely finished with huckleberry ice cream. We LOVE huckleberry season.
