Because of the crazy amount of people, parking is a bit of an issue at the Glacier NP trailhead lots. We could have utilized the shuttle, but instead decided to get an early start and were on the road by 6:00 a.m. At 7:30 a.m. we were one of the first cars in the Sun Point parking lot. We hiked from here to Draper Falls, St. Mary Falls, and Victoria Falls. Because it was so early we saw very few people on our hike to the falls, but did meet several hikers on our way back around noon.

We piled back in the van and continued the drive on Going-to-the-Sun-Road. No parking was available at most turnouts or other trailhead parking lots. We did park at Lake McDonald Lodge and walk to the lake. Seth played the antique piano in the lodge, and we browsed the gift shop. On our way back over Going-to-the-Sun Road we stopped at the St. Mary Visitor Center to see the displays and buy a few souvenirs.
