We went for a drive in "Going to the Sun Road" from Lake McDonald Lodge but it was closed so what to do if going to the sun road is not accecible for cars? something much beter, walk! We were able to experience Glacier National Park in a whole new perspective and created memorable moments. Montana is a unique and incredible place to visit!

Going-to-the-Sun Road is a scenic mountain road in the Rocky Mountains of the western United States, in Glacier National Park in Montana. The Sun Road, as it is sometimes abbreviated in National Park Service documents, is the only road that traverses the park, crossing the Continental Divide through Logan Pass at an elevation of 6,646 feet (2,026 m), which is the highest point on the road.[3] Construction began in 1921 and was completed in 1932 with formal dedication in the following summer on July 15, 1933.
The road is one of the most difficult roads in North America to snowplow in the spring. Up to 80 feet (24 m) of snow can lie on top of Logan Pass, and more just east of the pass where the deepest snowfield has long been referred to as the Big Drift. The road takes about ten weeks to plow, even with equipment that can move 4,000 tons of snow in an hour. The snowplow crew can clear as little as 500 feet (150 m) of the road per day. On the east side of the Continental Divide, there are few guardrails due to heavy snows and the resultant late-winter avalanches that have destroyed protective barriers. The road is generally open from early June to mid October, with its late opening on July 13, 2011, marking the record for the latest opening since the inaugural date of July 15, 1933.

Traveling in COVID-19 Times is hard and scary. Some places were taking precautions while others were not that interested in doing so. We had our disinfection kit everywhere we went and our routine was thorough. We can say that the best hotel that we stayed in was in Idaho, clean, safe and all personnel were using masks. Later we will be doing a Video talking about the Hotels, COVID, and safety.
