<\/a><\/br>Wild Goose Island in Saint Mary lake<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We made our first stop at Wild Goose Island Lookout, which offered views of the only island in St Mary Lake, with majestic mountains as backdrop.

<\/a><\/br> Judging by the size of waves, the winds were still high for the moment. Otherwise, I thought calmer waters and tranquility fits better into the composition of these shots.<\/p>\n <\/br>Mount Siyeh<\/p><\/div>\n After that, we followed Going-to-the-Sun Road and passed Logan Pass, that’s where Sun Road got narrower and more twisty.<\/p>\n <\/br>Hikers on Highline Trail<\/p><\/div>\n <\/br>Snow Patch<\/p><\/div>\n <\/br>Mount Gould<\/p><\/div>\n For another brief moment, we stopped at a roadside overlook of Bird Woman Falls across the valley, which was created from molten snow water on the Northern hill of Clements Mountain.<\/p>\n <\/br>Mt Cannon<\/p><\/div>\n <\/br>Bird Woman Falls<\/p><\/div>\n <\/br>Overlooking McDonald Creek<\/p><\/div>\n <\/br>Haystack Creek Falls<\/p><\/div>\n <\/br>Heavens Peak<\/p><\/div>\n We made another stop at Red Rock Point, where McDonald Creek splashes its way through a few rocks.<\/p>\n <\/br>McPartland Mountain from Red Rock Point<\/p><\/div>\n After that, we arrived at Lake McDonald Lodge at 12pm. It’s another historic hotel in Glacier National Park (actually built a year earlier than Many Glacier Hotel). But unlike Many Glacier, Lake McDonald Lodge was much smaller in size and fitted inconspicuously among trees.<\/p>\n By the way, parking at Lake McDonald Lodge was very limited. We circled around the parking lot for quite some time to no avail, and ended up leaving our car at the side of the road.<\/p>\n <\/br>Facade<\/br>The hotel looked more like a zoomed-up version of townhouse, with a simple entrance.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n <\/br>Lobby<\/br>Where everything seemed delicately approachable.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/br>Trophy<\/p><\/div>\n <\/br>Lodge from Lakeside<\/br>A warm and cozy feeling.<\/p><\/div>\n And once out of Lake McDonald Lodge, we were on the shores of the lake.<\/p>\n <\/br> It’s lunch time, and there were two restaurants in the vicinity. A pizza and grill restaurant off site, whose menu we somehow failed to comprehend for the moment. So, we ended up in the dining room of Lake McDonald Lodge.<\/p>\n<\/a> <\/a><\/br>Wild Goose Island in Saint Mary lake<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/br>Mountains by Saint Mary Lake<\/p><\/div>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/br>Lunch Creek<\/p><\/div>\n<\/a><\/a><\/br>Array of Mountains<\/br>North of Logan Pass<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/br>Going-to-the-Sun Road<\/p><\/div>\n<\/a><\/a><\/br>Haystack Butte<\/p><\/div>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/br>Mountains<\/p><\/div>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/br>Going-to-the-Sun Road<\/br>Once descended from the mountains, Sun Road follows McDonald Creek and winds its way through forests, no longer dauntingly treacherous.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/a><\/a><\/br>McPartland Mountain<\/p><\/div>\nRed Rock Point<\/span><\/h3>\n
