Day 6 — Going to the Sun Road Date: Sunday 9/8/2024 Destination: Local Ride: West Glacier, Going to the Sun Road, Saint Mary, East Glacier Travel Time: 5h 35m Miles: 142 Notes: Quick breakfast and gas up in West Glacier before entering Going to the Sun Road. Going to the Sun Road was stunning. This was the first point in the trip where I had tingles and was giddy at what I was seeing. Took a very short hike along Saint Mary Lake. Again, I was beside myself with the beauty. Lunch at the general store in Kiowa. The rest of the ride back after East Glacier was meh, but I just kept thinking about how amazing what I’d seen in the morning had been. Dinner at the KOA. Tacos from a cart (ok / not great, and a very weird guacamole) and a few glasses of wine from another cart. I asked about the guac and it turns out they make it in a food processor. Come on, people.
