THE 52-mile-long road that
cuts directly across Glacier na
tional park in northwestern
Montana is called Going-to-the-Sun
highway, and going to the
sun it truly was for our motor
log party of four which crossed
its snow-banked heights on
June 16. day after its opening
for the season.
All the way from Spokane,
where we stayed the first night
out of Portland, rain clouds
followed us and emptied their
contents upon us, dimming our
view of beautiful Pend Oreille
(Ponderay) lake in northern
Idaho and Flathead lake in
northwestern Montana, as well
as scenic spots between. Our al
most brand-new Ford, furnished
by the Oregon State Motor
association for this Oregonian
motorlog trip to the Rockies,
bounced over the water-filled
ehuckholes in the Montana
highway and its gleaming white
paint was smeared with mud.
Sun Comet Out
But as we approached Belton,
wesiern entrance to Glacier
park, the rain stopped and the
sun came out to tint the tops
of the park's many 9000 to
10,000-foot glacier-clad peaks
and to emphasize the emerald
coloring of its lakes and streams.
It was 6 P. M. and we had
far to go. Our reservations
were at Swiftcurrent lake on
the eastern side of the park.
But we took our time on the
half-hundred miles of good,
hard-surfaced highway that
winds through the green lodge
pole pine, cedar, spruce, quak
ing aspen and willows up and
up, past timberline, through 20
foot to 30-foot snow banks,
where one-way passage had been
cut only a few days before,
over the continental divide.
Wild Animals Seen
Just inside the park bears
walking on the highway set the
pattern for the drive, which
seemed to us a veritable parade
of bears and deer. We counted
seven of each, all on the high
way or very close to it, before
we climbed out of vegetation
to cross the divide.
It was a matter of craning
our necks from one side to the
other to catch glimpses of an
imals on the one hand and
beautiful scenery on the other.
The sun was low in the west,
but its rays touched the high
peaks to bring out the purple
