There was major rehabilitation work on the GTTS Road (after 75 years of use!) |
|
Only one lane was open for several miles;
this was our first opportunity to stop and look back on the first part of the climb |
|
First pull over... |
|
A little further along... You can see the road's single switch-back as it heads up the wall |
|
McDonald Creek at lower right; Mount Cannon in center; Bird Woman Falls visible in shadow at left ( Some of these were shot into the sun, so the exposures aren't always the best... ) |
|
More views along GTTS Road |
|
Who is that guy? |
|
Further up the road... |
|
A creative perspective... |
|
View back down valley as we approach Logan Pass; Haystack Butte on right |
|
View east from Logan Pass. Going to the Sun Mountain at center left ( This stitch came out surprisingly well, considering that the two shots were taken about 20' apart! ) |
|
This must be Logan Pass |
|
Bighorns at Logan Pass |
|
Bighorn ram kneeling (no, he didn't stumble!) |
|
He was just getting comfortable... |
