Lake Mc Donald, Glacier National Park
here is Glacier National park lake McDonald one of the smoothest glacier lakes i’ve dipped my toes in so much different than the eastern side of the park Saint Mary lake. I’ve camped at Saint Mary’s lake at Rising Sun campground which is serene compared to the big western Apgar campground and park headquarters along with RV parking.

really made the road spooky, it’s narrow anyways with steep drop-offs and in summer people take their RV’s along it.
