We picked up our trusty GyPSy Guide for the Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Park. See my post There’s an App for That… and a Website… and Hardware, updated today, for the complete list on indispensable apps including GyPSy Guide.
The park was crowded, even this late in the year. There were places we skipped because we couldn’t find parking. It would be nice to stay longer but the road was being closed for two weeks starting tomorrow. The crowds were composed of retirees and international visitors. The free shuttle would have worked better had we planned it that way.
