Montana has big beautiful blue skies. It has lovely green wheat fields. It also has those little white crosses along side the road to show where people have been killed in traffic accidents. I don't like them. In one little stretch of a mile, we saw nine crosses. It was the first mile leading out of town and the bars. And in one spot there were six crosses all attached together. They make me sad and I don't like them.
Tomorrow is the Fourth. We plan to lock up the camper and truck, and hike back to the Visitor's Entrance and catch the free van to take us on the Going to the Sun Road. They are trying to lessen the traffic on the road, so are now offering the shuttles. It should be a full day if we get off at a few of our favorite spots, go all the way to West Glacier, and then catch a shuttle back. I hope to take lots of pictures as this is one of the most scenic spots in the USA, but I'm not sure how many I can post with the cell phone connection. I can post them later when I get a stronger WIFI connection.
Until then, have a fun but safe Fourth of July. And God Bless America!

Looks very peaceful with all that green...will definitely look forward to more pictures...I'm going to go get my lawn chair ready.
I'm like you...those crosses always make me sad, around here they decorate them for months. Drive safely please ~
We rode over the Going to the Sun Road on a motorcycle a few years back. It was absolutely gorgeous. I certainly understand why they call Montana the Big Sky state.
Hi Marge,
Beautiful photos and glad you are enjoying Glacier.
I have mixed feelings about the crosses, but one of their stated purposes is to make people think about their driving. I hope they do.
