After Yellowstone, we went to Glacier N. P. in Montana up at the Canada border. The Going To The Sun Road was still closed for several miles in the middle because of major avalanche problems during the winter that wiped out part of the road. We spent 3 days on the east side, staying at St. Mary's Campground and Rising Sun Campground, both in the park. We saw lots of bears, including one following two guys who had been fishing & had their catch in a bag. We also saw lots of Rocky Mountain Bighorn sheep and some mountain goats grazing up on the mountains. On the west side, it's like a different park. Warmed. Wetter. The mountains are high and the weather on the west is more influenced by the Pacific. On the east, it's more like the high mountain plains.
