The destination of the Montana road trip was Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Park. To gain access to the road, you need to win the lottery. 24 hours before you go, you can buy one of the remaining tickets for $2. They go on sale at 8 am and go fast. The day before we reached Glacier, we were sitting in the parking lot of a gas station refreshing websites as we watched the number drop from 921, 845, 710, 623, 489…. then somewhere in the low 100s, we got them. Safe to say, if we did not, the trip would have had a different feel, one of ‘we drove 3000k and did not get to the destination, and now we drive home knowing this.’ It all worked out, and we got our three-day pass. I was looking forward to the tunnels. There is one on the East and one on the West. The West one (above) has a great view of Clements Mountain. The one on the East has two windows carved out to look at the scenery.
