Leaving our campsite in the Apgar Campground in Montana’s Glacier National Park, we hiked less than a mile to the Transportation Center. After a short wait, we caught one of the big busses which took us up to the Avalanche area. Here we transferred to a small bus for the ride up the Going-to-the-Sun Road and to the top of the world. Logan Pass at an elevation of 6,640 feet (2,026 meters) is the highest point on the Going-to-the-Sun Road. According to the Park Service:
Waves of yellow glacier lilies pushing up through the snow are quickly replaced by a variety of alpine plants adapted to this harsh, but spectacularly beautiful, habitat.
Shown below are photographs of plants taken from the top of the world.
Welcome to Street Prophets Saturday. This is an open thread to discuss whatever is on your mind. If you’re not out camping today, then please join in the discussion.
