East Glacier Hotel, Glacier National Park, Montana
This is the outside of one small section of the East Glacier Hotel. The red bus in the foreground is an icon of the park. There are at least thirty of them still in existence. I don't know if these are all originals, or if more were built. In the 1930's, these buses ferried visitors through the park from the lodges along Going to the Sun road. They are still in operation, though now everybody owns a car. Most riders are there for nostalgia's sake, and of course the obvious perk of having an informed guide take you through the park.
