Lake McDonald with my uncles

Today my uncles, aunts and I drove along Lake McDonald in Glacier Park to Avalanche Creek where the road was still closed to vehicle traffic.

This was taken along the lake and looking NW.

The following photo was taken from Lake McDonald lodge. Along the lake from right to left is where we drove on a small road that went around the northern side of Lake McDonald. Looking at the road map earlier you can see a grey line that curves a little around the north end of the lake. Along this road are quite a number of private homes that were grandfathered into the Park when Glacier Park was created.

The following two photos were taken from the north end of Lake McDonald.

This photo was taken on the road that goes around the northwest end of the lake. As you can see the road is not very wide. Certainly Curt and Cathy's RV wouldn't fit on the road. They had me ride those miles on the back of the minivan to watch for narrow trees. After all, it was my idea to drive on this road.  (just kidding)
