Glacier National Park on a bicycle was scary. Went up Going to the Sun Road


early one morning and hit the top with sleet and wet road for several mile trek down the other side.
195 lb guy, wet bike, wet road, steep curves with small stone guardrail and huge drop-off were one to go over rail, itty bitty brake pads on bike only speed control. I was a bit puckered up! Road through middle of park on east side was worse! Switchbacks and NO guardrail for most of climb… yikes!
