RE: Travels With Connie #67 Climbing to the Sun

in #travel6 years ago

I love everything about the lush green trees and the forest as a whole. I was born and grew up in a mountainous place where forest was my playground. I have been out of that for about three decades now but it is something that will always trigger a memory. It is somewhere that I would always want to go back to. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos!

How long is the drive to the sun with Connie? I wonder how's the trip will be in 4WD.

Sort:  

The highway is about 50 miles long and runs right through the middle of Glacier National Park. Connie and I meandered along and took almost all day at it. I could have turned around again and done it the next day.

The road is in very good shape and you wouldn't need a 4wd until it snows, which can happen most any time. The highway is generally closed November through June. The Montana Highway Department vows to have the highway open by July 4th, and some years it is a very near thing. There can be 10 feet of snow up towards the top. It's an amazing process to clean the road...

It really sounds a lot of fun and adventure. Indeed, you have all your time an not hurry especially with Connie. If you are not taking many stuff with you then yes, motorbikes are the best transportation mode for adventures. You can easily maneuver it.

Thanks for sharing your adventures here.
