This past weekend, the boy and I did a little drive up to Glacier National Park. We went for a couple of reason…1) Why not? 2) The boy has never been to Glacier. 3) It’s winter! Glacier’s undiscovered season.

It was a lovely drive up along Flathead Lake and over to West Glacier.

Our adventure took us to Apgar Village and Lake McDonald, where we trudged along the shore and I took a few photos. While I was aptly leaping/running back to the rig, I stepped in a snow bank that went up to my knee. I loved it!

We also drove along the Going-to-the-Sun Road…completely different, but utterly delightful in winter.

The boy is not a man of many words, but one thing is for sure…he loved it. I think we’ll go back soon.
