Belton Bridge in Glacier National Park
Dec 2, 2022 21:45:10 #
After getting my work done at the house today, took a quick drive over to the park and hiked along the trail at the Belton Bridge along the Middle Fork River. Built in 1920, the Belton Bridge was the western entrance to Glacier National Park from 1920 to 1938, and was one of the park’s first major construction projects. Between 1933 and 1938, the bridge was also a vital link on Going-to-the-Sun Road. The bridge is no longer used for vehicle traffic, it is now a link to the trails in the park for hiking, horse back riding, snowshoeing and cross country skiing.
The snow in this area is about 3 ft deep right now but was very easy to walk thru as it is still very fluffy so no snow shoes required for today's hike!

And you live there?!?! Only been there once, back in 2015 when I visited my daughter when she worked as a Park Ranger in Yellowstone, borrowed her bear spray and went to Glacier NP, was a little worried when I read the first sentence in the Glacier hiking book, "always hike in a group of at least three people".....looked around and saw noone but me......been wanting to go back ever since!

Yep all year long! I hike alone a lot in and out of the park, I always carry bear spray as well as an emergency beacon. You would be hard pressed to be able to hike alone in the park in the summer now....it's so very over crowded these past couple of years that I don't even try to go in there until winter.Dec 2, 2022 23:32:37 #
Beautiful! Makes me more sad that it’s so expensive to visit that we gave up until we can camp there. I love it that you made them black and white.

Thanks and I agree..it's gotten ridiculous how expensive everything gets starting end of June to Sept! I didn't make these B&W....it's just how it was, you can see some color in the bridge and in the rocks as well. But I just might have to redo them in B&W and see how they turn out...good idea!!!
