Going-to-the-Sun



No, we're not bee-lining it back to Florida. We're in Montana's Glacier National Park. Going-to-the-Sun Road is the only way through the heart of the Park. It's 53 miles long, took 12 years to build, and was completed in 1932. Quite frankly, I thought I was on Going-to-my-Death Road as we neared Logan's Pass, the highest point. Looking out my window at a vertical drop of 6,000+ feet made my palms sweaty. Glacier National is a beautiful park and the scenery was well worth the occasional anxiety.
