Wow somehow I skipped over the marmots pics! I finally saw some of those last year in Colorado. Paul - looking at wikipedia, it was probably the Yellow-bellied Marmot.

Looks North America doesn't have too many types of Marmots, so it was probably either the

or hoary marmot: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoary_Marmot

From that page: "The writings of Marco Polo refer to the marmot as "Maharaja's Mantit.""
Mantit? I'll say no more. ;-)

Great pictures Paul. I am so envious. Someday I hope to do a western US road trip, and down to the Southwest too.

Very nice photos! Brings back memories of a trip my wife and i made two years ago. We picked up a new Vette convertible at the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky and drove scenic roads back to Seattle, where we shipped it home to Kauai. We put 6,700 miles on it over 30 days. When we attempted the Going to the Sun Highway through Glacier there was a rock slide that blocked the road half way through. We turned around and drove around the south and east sides of the park and then drove down the other end of this famous road as far as we could. Stunning scenes all along. We then backtracked and went up to Waterton Park and on into Alberta. After that trip we decided to take a month-long driving trip every year. This year will be the northeast ... up to Nova Scotia, to see fall colors (in a Hertz Corvette rental for a couple weeks).

Great photos, great scenery. Thank you.
You must be out of shape if you call 50 yards a hike though!

Nice trip! I've delivered utility poles to the electric co-op in Velva a couple of times. In January. It was at least -20.

Nicely done, PF.
A nice walk in the park with your pictures!
