    9:30 left campground, drove along the park's only main road --- Going-to-the-Sun Road,  down on the road, we saw an unknown Creek, the river is cyan, extremely clean. Washed down from the upper reaches of the river is very rapid, playing numerous white splashes on the stones in the river. This blue river, white spray viewing and wooden stairs, ride together, as in the painting.

Line to the Avalanche Creek (almost one-third of the entire Going-to-the-Sun Road,) closed to traffic, all vehicles where park ranger  explained that last night rock collapsed, so the road until late in the afternoon some time to restore access. This can be hard for us, but why the park has only one road.

Alternatively, we went for boating in Mcdonald lake, not far from the visitor center (Apgar Visitor Center) . Crystal clear blue of the lake, the two sides isolated and rugged mountains and canyons throughout, the magnificent icebergs, shade trees, blue / gray / green fusion together, dream like really seems to be not real. We also see the campground last night. 

Afternoon driving on Highway roads suffered a big traffic jam, simply we changed route to drive through the Indian Reservation,  this protected area called black feet india reservation. Into the protected area is a gravel road, only enough for two vehicles, two-way traffic, unpaved, drove up on the dusty. After entering the protected area, see open terrain, cattle and horses are on the backyard hillside. Indian men occasionally drove over, really.

18:40 to reach 15 Highway and 90 Highway junction point here  is the American continental dividing line .

We stayed at Dillon, MT to have laundry, food.
