Going through the guidebooks has been very exciting, but one scenic drive caught my eye. This, we need to do.
The road that goes through Glacier NP is called "Going-to-the-Sun Road". Is that an awesome name or what?
From Fodor's, here is a description. This magnificent, 50 mile highway--a National Historic Civil Engeering Landmark--crosses the crest of the Continental Divide at Logon Pass and traverses the towering Garden Wall. Arguably the most beautiful drive in the country, Going-to-the-Sun Road connects Lake McDonald on the west side of Glacier with St. Mary Lake on the east. Turnoffs provide views of the high country and glacier-carved valleys.
The guidebook does warn the traveller that the drive is jammed packed with tourists in July and August... and we will be one of them..!

Barb--this is awesome and quite an undertaking. Certainly a planning genius. It'll be interesting to see how close you stay to your itinerary :-) Know that I'll certainly be praying for traveling mercy and divine protection for the family.
