Glacier National Park

Glacier National Park

Cliff-hanging vistas and wildness flow into your heart, and that's Glacier National Park, located at the margin between USA's Montana State and the Alberta State in Canada.


To explore this enormous and fantastic park, the fastest way is get a car to drive through the Going-to- the-Sun road, which line across the heart of Rocky Mountains. The colossal construction of hewing those mountains was completed in 1932. After its one-decade working period, millions of people have traveled this 50-mile marvel.

Though I've seen Taiwan's Taroko gorge, I still can't picture how did the nature mother carve such a mind-blowing and fascinating scenery.With sweeping valleys, rugged peaks, plunging waterfalls along the road, I'm sure that everyone will pull over and get out the car, catching a glimpse of its beauty.

What makes this park worth visiting are the rampant wild animals, such as grizzle and bighorn sheep and mountain goats. Besides renowned for its precious spices, the park allow you to see the four seasons views within two or three long trip.

The bus service can also be a part of sighting. Started in 1937, the fleet offer a 25-foot-long, 17-seater bus to drive travelers along a varity of routes.

Those bus drivers are locally called "jammers," since long ago they jammed the bus' gears as they shifted going up and down the mountainous road.

When the sun set comes, many people begin milling about the Lake McDonald's chores with cameras in hand, hoping to catch a nice picture for their itinerary.

Hope one day I may drive my own car and step into this marvelous park, with my eyes and body.
