Glacier Nat'l Park- Day 2 was gorgeous!

Headed out to see Glacier Nat'l Park again, started off foggy, but cleared up quickly.  


Up above the valley fog.





Looking up at Logan's Pass from east side.

Gotta be here in person to fully appreciate the grandeur!


Saint Mary Lake on east side.

Very, very windy here in this valley! One look at that dead tree tells the story. 

The crazy guy taking all these pics 🤪
Far east side of Saint Mary lake.. look at all the tree colors & the contrast with the sky, hills, & lake.

Interesting looking caterpillar!


Snake 

Bleached twisted tree on beach.

All the lakes here have colorful rocks!

Made lunch at Rising Sun. Num nums 😋

Neat little path to the lake from picnic spot.

Headed back up the pass. Stopped at this quaint general store.

Half burnt tree

I waded out into the river to get this shot. 😀📸

Many gorgeous swimming holes along the drive.


Very colorful rocks exposed by glaciers


Lake McDonald. No McDonald's out here tho 😄 Just mother nature.


I know there were a lot of pictures here, but I had to post them to fully convey how amazingly beautiful this national treasure is! I have approximately 200 pictures of different scenes, because every turn I took there was another breathtaking view I had to stop at! This place is a must see!

Meteor Crater, Arizona

Image
Just east of Grand Canyon, checked out meteor crater, pretty amazing! You can see the crater off in the distance. There was a lot of displaced earth when this meteor hit! Entering into the visitor's center, lots of stuff to do & see! Here is a picture frame of the San Francisco peaks off in the distance on the left. This was solid metal. Crazy heavy! Got here too late. Oh well 🙄 Evening sun to soon go down... Lots of viewing spots.  🧐 The impact spot.  Cool place! Hard to imagine this happening!
