14 MONTANA WAY PAINTINGS

This "Photo to Painting" Gallery is   all about a trip to  Glacier National Park from Oregon through Washington State, Idaho and Montana.
          On the way we cross the Columbia River and Wanapum Lake on the Vantage Bridge which is next to Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park which is famous for the rare specimens of petrified Ginkgo tree discovered there in 1932.  With a fun stop at Kootenai Falls even if we didn't get a good picture of the swinging bridge.
          Glacier National Park is over 1,000,000 acres so a few pictures will only show a small part of it. We went to find the Swiftcurrent Falls and it was great that the autumn leaves were very nice. The rain was so bad that we skipped the Going to the Sun road, but we found interesting photos from the Looking Glass Hill Road and Many Glacier Road.
          On the way back we saw more of Montana and found the JOHN GRADE sculpture of a Lava Tube in the Craters of the Moon National Monument in Idaho.
