Fall is coming to West Glacier National Park.
The leaves are turning,
and although the days are still warm, the nights are quite crisp.
Tomorrow we head over the ‘Going to the Sun Road,’ across the continental divide, to East Glacier.
There is no internet in East Glacier so I will be out of touch for awhile, until we cross the border into Canada and Waterton Lakes National Park~
Until then, cheers to you from West Glacier

Your shots from travels ❤️😎
Thank you so much and happy you enjoyed!
Have a great trip! Your photos are amazing!!!
Mil grazi!
Fall is so beautiful. Probably my favorite season. Have a wonderful trip!
Yes Fall & Spring, transitionary seasons that are fell of anticipatio. Cheers to you Carrie
Joyous journeyings !
Merci beaucoup mon ami!
Very pretty, but the tree stumps and new growth suggest a forest fire burned there some time ago.
Yes, extensive fires in 2003 and 2007, and one burning now for months!
Lovely photo’s Cindy and Welcome back to Canada! We were just in Calgary Alberta this weekend and loved seeing the mountains off in the distance. looks like a fire might have swept thru there some time ago and nature is in the process of renewing from the ashes. Gotta love what nature can do when left to her own devises.
Can’t wait to be in gorgeous Canada and yes a fire has been burning in Glacier for months now, althought it looks like rain is coming today!
We went up into Waterton N. P. too when we went to Glacier Nat’l Park, after Yellowstone N.P. All of it was beautiful then that first week of June in 2011 when we went, but was still cold and snow in Y.N.P. even. They had to close the ‘Road to the Sun’ in Glacier because of snow pack there, but got plenty of other stuff to see, including a boat ride on Lake McDonald by the L.M. Lodge we stayed in and hiked the trails. Have fun and enjoy. It is truly beautiful and awe inspiring to see what our own country has to offer in national parks and nature reserves.
Our national parks are so incredible. Today it is grey and cold for the first time. I had to buy a summer dress in Idaho because it was 87 degrees in Idaho and Glacier in mid-September, so I know how unpredictable the weather can be. You are doing the same trip we are in the reverse direction.
Enjoy the trip and lingering good weather. 🙂
Enjoy your escape from writing but I imagine you will capture lovely images and beauty all around you, Cindy. Be safe, no bears, snakes or “Oh My’s!”
No snakes, yes thank you! But a few bears at a distance, oh yes! 😉 😉
Beautiful photos Cindy. Wish you a great and safe trip. Remember to enjoy 😀
Enjoying, cheers & hugs to you Irene~
Thank you.

Thank you Alison and so good to hear from you!
It is very beautiful. Is here in northern America?
Yes, it is in Montana, straddling the border with Canada.
Beautiful images!
Mil grazi!
How beautiful and I love the colors of Fall.
I do too because we don’t get them at The Holler~
hi cindy-
these are stunning!
So glad you shared this beauty with us.
hugs,
o and om.
Happier that you appreciated them my friend!
Youre most welcome 🙂
Oh dear… could I just put up a little hut or hide in a cave there without the INS finding about it? 😀
What a beautiful place!!!
You could easliy in the national forest that abuts the park and it is just as lovely!
Haha, just kidding, Cindy.. good to hear from you. But you know what? When I go anywhere, I don’t want to be an unwelcome guest, ever. So don’t worry about me putting up a shack there and ruining the beauty of that place 😛
They would be lucky to have you!
Fascinating landscapes – very well captured… 🙂
Awww, thank you!
The colour changes are beautiful against the blue mountains!
I love the variation of color and texture that you see in the fall~
Marvelous!

…and beautiful it is! Have a nice trip and enjoy!
Thanks so much and cheers~
Cheers!
Fall has such beauty. You captured that here. <3
Awwwww, honored!
I love the contrast of the colours, with the trees in the foreground and blue mountains behind. Can almost smell that pure air from here.
The pine air is simply intoxicating isn’t it, especially with the crisp, clean mountain air! Ahhhhhhh……….
No internet! What planet are you on? 😉
hehehehe! Planet Glacier!
The photos are beautiful Cindy,thanks for posting them. 🙂
Thank you more for your kindness Ranu~

Love to travel with you Dan!
So beautiful!
Our national parks are just exactly that!

I have been in Glacier before, but never Waterton, so am really looking forward to it!
oh how beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you more for appreciating!
Awesome pics, Cindy. Sometimes, I forget just how beautiful America really is. Thanks for posting the pictures. Enjoy. Hugs, Kat
Yes, there is so much bad news about our country that one can forget there are vast tracks of peaceful wilderness!
Always love seeing wide open space around me; what wonderful photos to take me there
Yes, your blood pressure lowers and your breathing becomes deeper. A natural high!
Glacier is one of my favorite National Parks. Thanks for the wonderful photos and memories. Enjoy your travels Cindy!
So pleased to trigger happy memories!

Oh, my, your photos are like postcards. My son visited GNP and said it was the most beautiful place he had ever seen. Enjoy!
It is simply amazing, so huge and so different, and amazing in the fall, compared to the summer!
Beautiful nature…a treat to the yes…. 🙂
We live on a glorious planet!
My favourite season!
This is the first time I am seeing it in the fall, between the colors and the huckleberries, I am in heaven!
Beyond beautiful! Have a fabulous time.
Awwwww, thank you!
Beautiful!!
Mil grazi!

Will do!
Such beautiful colors … Great captures!
Mother nature knows how to paint a landscape!
I love and miss the colours of Autumn and will enjoy them in your coming posts.
Gosh, I have never seen autumn like here in Glacier and Waterton, whole mountain ranges wreathed in yellow, gold, red and two shades of green!
Lucky you, lots of photos to come?
These shots are absolutely majestic…what colour!!! Happy wanderings to you,
Autumn Jade
