The Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers

at Glacier National Park - west entrance -
September 1, 2009



Below: Lake McDonald


Below: McDonald Falls - not big, but it was beautiful







Below: A tunnel - imagine the time and manpower it took to bore through 192 feet of mountain using 1926 technology.

Below: The park's tour bus - but the two RV Gypsies did their own driving through the park.

Below: scenery from overlooks

Below: Bird Woman Falls cascades 492 feet from the slopes of Mt. Oberlin.



Below: Weeping Wall - A gushing waterfall in spring but the flow reduces to a mere trickle in late summer and fall. Water was lightly pouring down the wall on this date, but the water is hard to see in the photos.


Below: The sign below mentioned the Triple Arches, one mile east. Luckily, Karen Duquette was able to get a quick photo of the Triple Arches as they continued their drive. Due to a lot of traffic, they were unable to stop for photos.

Below: The east entrance (Going-to-the-Sun Road) had lots of construction going on and delays were 5 minutes to 30 minutes long. But that did provide opportunities for Karen Duquette to take great photographs. If you drive an RV, there are length restrictions on the Going-to-the-Sun Road.



Below: No time to stop - too much traffic, so Karen Duquette quickly photographed the *Triple Arches*- one of the most difficult engineering feats at Glacier National Park. Karen can be seen in the car's mirror as she took the photograph.

Below: Logan Pass sits on the Continental Divide at 6,646 feet. Alpine meadows filled with wildflowers carpet the hillsides.


Below: Some small, but cute wildlife.





Below: Big Horn Sheep on the mountain - the photo on the left was taken with a 300mm zoom lens, then trimmed in to get the photo on the right.

Below: A tunnel in the mountain - and the sheer cliffs

Below: A waterfall in the distant scenery

Below: Water cascading down the cliff - Lee Duquette thought it better than the "weeping wall" shown earlier on this page.

Below: Waterfalls by the roadside



FYI: In 1850 there were 150 glaciers in Glacier National Park. In 1968, there were only 50 glaciers, and in 2009 there are only 26 glaciers. By the year 2030, it is guessed that there will NOT be any glaciers in Glacier National Park. That date will be here sooner than you think.

Above - The two RV Gypsies stopped to photograph Jackson Glacier and met a nice couple from Pompano Beach Florida. What a small world!
