St Mary, MT to Hungry Horse, MT


Morning came extremely early – 5AM so that we could photograph the sunrise and early morning hours on the Going to the Sun highway. This also meant less other tourists and easier driving along the narrow parts of the mountain road and parking at the various points of interest.

We stopped a couple of times for pictures. One highlight was a family of mountain goats.

On the west side we stopped for a hike at trail of the cedars after breakfast in the RV.

After exiting the park we stopped for lunch at West Glacier and then looked for a place to have an afternoon nap. We lucked out at a fishing access point on Lake Five which also had great swimming opportunities. After a great swim in glacier fed water we continued to Hungry Horse where we found a nice campground for the evening.
