After filling the tank and making one phone call each-to parents(no cell service, no wifi, and no tv), we started our 50 mile scenic drive through Glacier National Park. We traveled west to east, starting out by Lake McDonald and the McDonald River(first picture). The lake was often hidden by the trees but the river was usually visible. The river is turquoise with many waterfalls and white water. The road at this time was pretty straight and level.
As the hills and mountains became more visible, so did the waterfalls bringing the melted snow down from the mountaintops. We saw many from one end to the other.
Getting used to the level road, I noticed cars high up on a mountain(third picture). It wasn't long before we were up there, seemingly even with the mountaintops(fourth picture).
