May RR from the USA



The Weeping Wall is on the West side of the Going-to-the-Sun Highway in Glacier National Park, an icy waterfall cascading into the road leaving those who pass through refreshed The road was completed in 1932 after 11 years of work and is a National Historic Landmark, an engineering feat. The 50-mile road connects Lake McDonald and St. Mary Lake, snaking ever upwards on the Continental Divide, then descending to the valleys below, providing visitors with memories of awesome scenery.
