Long Train Runnin'
Engineer
Okay folks here it is. A month after the trip I would like to share some pictures with you. Not everything is Amtrak related, however I did visit both East and West Glacier Train stations and caught the empire builder in both directions at both places. Sadly, youtube is not cooperating right now so the videos to go along with the trip will be further delayed. Some of the photos are edited and some are not. Some are great, some are not so great. Anyway the captions explain most things. I flew in and out of Calgary and there was about 1500 miles of driving done.
The way the forum works I can only post 5 pictures per reply, so sorry if it gets long.
This was our first hike in the park. We went just over 5 miles to Iceberg Lake. This late in the season however few icebergs remained. Still an amazing blue color from the glaciers its fed by
On the 5 mile return trip saw this vista and decided it was worth sharing. The haze is from a fire burning somewhere. It was a 10 mile day which was a bit much for me on day 1.
At Logan Pass a little over 6,000 feet above sea level the top of the going to the sun road. Great trails, and views up here.
2 male long horned sheep sit in the sun. They are about 400 yards away, luckily my dads camera does a much better job then mine.
This part of the park is very pretty its hard to believe your 6,000 feet up and things are still shooting skyward around you.
