Just a mid-visit update as we visit Glacier National park for the first time. Weather's great with lows in the low 50s and highs in the mid-80s. Generally sunny with some showers & thunderstorms in the area as I type this.
We've taken advantage of each day we've been here and hiked each day. Total mileage is somewhere around 16 miles with the longest hike of 7 miles today as we took a trip through the woods to Johns Lake.

We've found that traveling through the park is easier if you'll work with the free shuttles. Think getting around Walt Disney World, and you've nailed this system. Each day we park at the Apgar Transit Center and catch a shuttle. It takes three buses to get to the east side of the park, but it can easily be done. And when you do, it's a free ride on the "Going to the Sun" road.

Tomorrow we take a break from the hikes and take the longest of the Red Bus tours that takes you throughout the park. Don't expect a lot of time for any hikes, but we're hoping for great photo opportunities.
Well with that sentence, I'll just let the pictures posted here speak for themselves. Later, David
