Glacier National Park

Cycling Logan Pass / The Going to the Sun Road on the last weekend its open should be marked on more cyclists calendars - no time restrictions on the Going to the Sun road. Picture from base of climb when road is aiming west before the hairpin turn.

Unsurpassed beauty, accomodating schedules, and temperate days. We rode casually - not hard, but not wimpy. A ranger on the way up had their telescope out so we stopped to chat and they let us look through it at sheep on the cliffs. We had to stop once on way up, once on way down for road construction. I think that made it like 2h + or - but didn't really pay attention. I thought construction was done this year but it's ongoing. The parts that are new are velvety smooth with blacktop stretching every inch to the cliffs. Its neat seeing roads built like that.

Camped last night at Apgar, but tonight at KOA. Made smokies and smores. Slow afternoon, just let time pass with air temps same as our skin temp, no breeze, and afternoon sun.
