Day 239: Sunrift Gorge

One of the many stops on our trip to Glacier National Park was Sunrift Gorge, on the east side of the Going To The Sun Highway.  I realized I had never stopped here before, because there is limited parking.  The Gorge itself is a pleasant 100 yard walk up some stairs.  It is a good walk on a hot day because when the breeze comes up out of the Gorge it provided natural air conditioning to the overlook.

The Sunrift Gorge itself is a bit of a surprise.  It is just a knife cut in the rocks!

Looking back down at the highway you can see people looking over the various small waterfalls that come from the Gorge.

I didn’t see any trolls under the bridge…or did I???

You put photographers together and they never see the same thing.
