Going to the Sun (Highway)

While we went towards the sun, fog kept encroaching upon us.

This morning around 11 am, this is what we saw through our windshield as we travelled along the Going to the Sun Highway and never saw the sun shining on the U.S. part of Glacier National Park. Poor CB hated driving along the cliffs knowing there was a 1000 foot drop, though unseen. It is disappointing that we did not see the peaks or glaciers along the way. I have postcards to send of the sights we did not glimpse.

After we left the park and went through the Canadian border crossing (that is only open in the summers), we entered the joint Canadian national park--Waterton Lakes National Park. As we drove in this direction, we started seeing patches of blue sky and finally entered the sunshine again. And we saw the top of a mountain--and got to the sun!
