The superlative

One of the most unique experiences you can do at Glacier national park is the Red Bus tour along the Going to the Sun Road.

These historic red jammers are 17 passenger open top vintage buses operating since the 1930s.

To-infinitive

If you don't want to drive the narrow roads and want to enjoy the views, this is the perfect tour.

I booked the Crown of the Continent tour in August and had an incredible time enjoying the views, learning interesting facts and stopping by places I would not have done so myself.

Here's my experience on the Red Bus tour at the end of August.

Tour starts at 10:15, but they say arrive 15 minutes early.

And we're just in front of Rising Sun Motor Inn.

when you go up the mountain there's some points where it was like 50 degrees.

St. Mary's around 250 some feet at its deepest point.

So this was the 2015 Reynolds Creek fire.

A lightning struck way up at the head of above the lake.

Wow, how did that little guy get way up there?

So we were on the bus for two hours and we made like one couple of stops.

So that was like our first stop it was still raining.

So everybody just kind of went real quick and then came back in.

We stopped by Logan Pass and then kept on going down, going Sun Road.

And then now we're at McDonald Lodge and we're having lunch at something.

But this is more like the casual food you can get at the McDonald Lodge.

It was more like fine dining almost so and it was like a 30 minute way.

So it's better to just come here and eat.

But yeah, I mean so far I do like being on the bus to like see everything more clearly.

Of course we can't open the top because it's raining.

So yeah, it's been nice just to like relax and be on this bus.

Then after this we go back on the bus and I think we're gonna go back up, I believe and then make a few more stops.

It's too bad that we didn't get to drop the top.

And he said he's been hiking since, I don't know since when.

But he said in his 30s he would hike all these mountains around here.

Sometimes he kind of forgets what he's saying.

We almost missed our bus because we were waiting, you know, for a good 30 minutes because we got there early.

We got there at 9:45 and we saw the buses out there.

We look like, I mean clearly look like we're waiting for a bus.

But he didn't, you know, come and get us or anything.

So we're like, okay, well maybe that's not the bus.

So we went back into like at the check in desk and he was like, oh no, they should be out there.

We kind of got the numbers mixed up because the way they wrote it.

So they thought it was bus 89, but it was actually bus 84.

I was like, well no, because the check in guys said it was 89.

Anyway, we got on but then I, you know, he was almost like scolding us that we got there late.

But even though I told him like no, we got here at 9:45 and they said that just to wait inside.

And he's like, well, you know, it's, it's 10, 10 o' clock is when you guys should have been here.

So yeah, it was a little upsetting that he blamed us, you know, because we were there.

Anyway, it's been nice I do like getting like the views as we're driving down because usually I'm driving so I don't really get to see the views at all.

Like I want to take all these pictures and stuff, but I can't.

So it was nice to be able to do that this time.

We didn't get to like, you know, over the top.
