Going to Sun Road | Mothers Day Ride

Mt Alpha girls - Mama Jen and daughter Ellie - Rock on - Staring 17mile ride

For Mothers day I did not want flowers, candy or jewelery. However, I do like a heartfelt note or card, but what I really wanted was an adventure with my kids on bikes!

So, I pulled the "mothers day card" - that means everyone has to do what I want.

 

What did I want?

 

To ride with my family up the Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park!

 

This year, the earliest access of the Going-to-the-Sun Road in a car for its entire length is June 21, 2013 - it is open to bikers to ride up it until they each the snow removal. 

 

Plowing the Going-to-the-Sun Road is a monumental challenge each year at Glacier National Park. Unpredictable spring snow storms, avalanches and other weather related madness can stop its progress.

Ellie did so good! - She put in a good 3 hours riding up hill before we turned around.
