Welcome to the beautiful 55-miles of US-2 from the town of West Glacier to East Glacier Park. People tend to ignore this highway with so much to see driving across Glacier’s Going-to-the-Sun Road, but US-2 is so worth a trip. Come on along and see . . .
In the far southeast corner of Glacier National Park is a rugged area with beautiful lakes and waterfalls called Two Medicine. I’ve been to this area twice. Both times it rained but both times I walked to Running Eagle Falls. Rain or not, doing a trail that is 0.6 miles round trip is doable. My camera was happy under my broad brim hat. Today the sun is shining bright so let’s do some waterfall hikes in Two Medicine!
Huh? What? OK, OK . . . no nearby palm trees, no soft white or cream colored sands, but beaches nevertheless! Just make sure you wear shoes! Let’s go . . .
Sometimes life just gets in the way and a trip to the mountains for fall colors doesn’t happen. Pretty much all of October, until today, has been spent preparing for moving–the real move–and unpacking from moving. What a process and I only moved to the other side of this apartment complex! Well, 1,000 miles or 1/10 mile demands nearly the same moving process–sigh. However, now the views from my windows and slider (below) includes Pikes Peak and a lovely view southeast along the Front Range. Since we can’t get away this fall, let’s take a look around the Springs for amazing autumn colors!
