Another beautiful day weatherwise, and more beautiful scenery as well. Today we drove over to the West Glacier Entrance of the park, about 60 miles from where we are staying in Browning. We went down and around the bottom edge of the park, the opposite direction from yesterday. Only at about 4,000 feet today, not nearly as high as yesterday. Today was more about alpine forests rather than soaring peaks. But no end to the lakes and waterfalls:

I've yet to see a bear - equal parts relieved and disappointed!

Everywhere in the park there are colored rocks under the water.

Reds and blues in many shades.
-
A new wildflower.

I was fascinated by the colors of the stones.
