It was decided that due to the expected crowds that we would approach Logan Pass from the East so we had to get an early start and head towards St Mary
we decided to leave the cabin by 8am and Richard, Jan, Patrick and Miles would follow in our support vehicle with the picnic lunch
Martha decided to be the Monkey today . I think we planned on being there in 2 hours but there were a lot of construction stops
Dom with Martha in the lead, with Bluekat directly in front . We eventually made it to Two Medicine Lake
It's a tranquille scene with a mountain backdrop . Here you are able to rent a canoe, kyack or take a boat tour
After we had finished snapping photos we move on and Dom has found another spot for a photo opp
I think because we are all bloggers and photographers we stop a lot for photos. It seems to be taking a long time to get to St Mary's
Here's Bluekat posing in front of the mountain
Eventually we enter Glacier NP again at St Marys and ride over to the Rising Sun picnic area to have our lunch . I forgot to snap a photo until it was nearly too late. There is hardly anything left
There are several construction delays and one way alternating traffic as we climb up the mountain and reach Logan Pass
another delay on the mountain gives us a chance to stop and snap more photos
I think we are all getting used to the gravel. The road is in bad shape we have been on gravel for miles, all the way up and part way down
If it weren't for these construction delays we would not be able to stop and enjoy the view, nor be able to converse and stretch our legs. It was a warm day around the mid 80's °F . We all started out with liners but they were quickly removed as we were all sweltering in the heat
We had some excitement with the appearance of two mountain goats. They were so tame that they came right up to us
The goat came very close to Martha
Dom was glad he remembered to bring along his spray bottle. He was getting a lot of enjoyment spraying Bluekat to keep her cool
In the following video I am trying to give you a feeling of what it was like to ride some portions of the Going to the Sun Highway. It was gravel from the bottom of the road where we started to climb and construction crews were everywhere. We had to stop several times as they alternated traffic up and down. Excuse the vibrations, the road was very rough in spots and I changed my GoProHD mounting location from my handlebars and mounted it on the windshield frame using RAM mounts which I did not test before the trip.
