What a View - Glacier National Park, Montana

There are times that you see a great view and it is very difficult to get the shot. As a photographer, it can be quite frustrating to see a view that you just have to capture but are unable to stop and do so. For those of you who have been on the Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park, you know what I mean. The road is the only paved road in the park, and it stretches 50 miles from the west entrance to the east entrance while crossing the Continental Divide. The road is particularly narrow with two lanes and there are very few pullouts to park along the way. The pullouts are quite small and are full most summer months. The only place along the road that you can actually park is at Logan Pass, as long as you get there before 10am. After that, there are few spots left. There are so many hiking trails as well as the Visitor Center that you can spend hours there and not be bored at all. As you would expect from a Rocky Mountain Range, the views like this one are spectacular.
