A new Glacier memory

Had a rather new adventure 10 days ago on first 2013 visit to Glacier National Park. Left at daylight and drove 300 miles on a solo trip which covered most of the east side, from Marias Pass to Canada border. Having a new adventure is never unexpected in such a vast majestic mountain paradise, and it added something unique to my life among those peaks.
