When we drive to my hometown, there are a couple routes we can take. The majority of the time we have opted for the quickest and most convenient one. Why spend more time in the car with screaming children than you have to, right? This summer, however, we took the opportunity to take the road less traveled...and it was amazing.
We drove on the Going to the Sun Road through Glacier National Park in North Montana. It was breathtakingly beautiful and, in spite of the sheer drop-off on one side of the road, we just love it.
Near the summit there is a pathway to an overlook area which typically provides onlookers with a fairly close view to any number of mountain goats. This year we ambled down the path to the fenced-in area only to find it occupied by two mangy looking parents and their little baby. (I think I might have been a little too close as daddy goat tried to find a way out of his unexpected pen...but I got a great shot.)
After watching the little mountain goat family we spent a little time letting Curtis stretch his legs. He just loved walking around. It might have something to do with the never-ending hours strapped into a car seat...I dunno.
