Driving through East Glacier this is easy to miss. Had to stop the second i first spotted it.

East Glacier day 1, mind

Highway sign to Saint Mary and East Glacier

Today we transition from one to the other.

We love St. Mary.

We love East Glacier (the town).

(We also love East Glacier the geographical space).

An extraordinary, minuscule piece of dust on planet Earth.

Why?

Can’t imagine picking any other option.

Sectional map of Glacier National Park and the Great Plains border. The red oval upper right corner is where the next three photos were taken, looking West into Glacier and The St Mary Valley from the Great Plains western edge.
Glacier National Park from Great Plains
Glacier National Park from Montana Highway 464 between Babb and Browning. The center horizon gap is the main focus. The ‘gap is the St Mary Valley. The one small tooth is Reynolds Mountain. Going-to-the-Sun Mountain towers to its immediate right.

Zooming in a bit more.

Reynolds Mountain is center horizon.

Mountain Magic.

Deep in.

No conveniences except a 50-mile (West to East) paved road and a sense of law enforcement.

We are on the far Eastern end of the 50-mile Going-to-the-Sun Road.

Middle of nowhere is not an exaggeration.

St Mary, day 5, mind

Adventure awaits.

Adventure awaits.

The mountains are whispering…

“We are ready.”

We whisper back…

“So are we.”
