Day 17--9/9/14 First snowfall of the season!
It was in the sixties yesterday, but today we woke up to a dusting of snow on the mountainside with temperatures in the upper 20's! We had planned to drive the Going To The Sun Road from the east to west ends of Glacier National Park, but the road was closed at Logan's Pass due to the snow. So we drove a different (hellish) route south around the mountains on a road featuring such hazards as range cattle in the road, hair-pin turns with no guard rails and your lane partially washed out in places. During the first portion of our drive it snowed quite heavily but fortunately did not stick to the road.
