To Glacier National Park via U.S. Hwy 2
September 28, 2010
After driving State Highway 20 across Washington to the Idaho border, we continued our journey east to Glacier National Park via U.S. Highway 2 across Idaho and western Montana. This was another exceptionally scenic route through mountainous terrain. The colors were a lovely blend of green and yellow and gold. Much of the highway parallels rushing rivers. And it seemed we were never too far from a railroad track!

I liked the pattern in the steps of the pedestrian bridge over the railroad tracks by Kootenai Falls.

A cautionary tale: Montana marks the site of each highway death with a white cross. (And we saw lots of white crosses.)
