Siyeh Creek
I was so glad that I decided to push through with the trip to the Going to the Sun Road. I was initially planning on going to Lake McDonald that day but when I realized that it was going to be a beautiful day the entire day, I changed plans and decided to go to the Going to the Run Road. A trip to the Going to the Sun Road is basically like a series of postcard photo stops. Each stop has an amazing view to take in and you can’t help but just take your time here and explore the area. My next stop is Siyeh Pass. This place is named for Mount Siyeh which is nearby. There is a hairpin turn here at the Going to the Sun Road and there is a stop near the bend.

One can easily spot these viewing areas since there would be a lot of vehicles stopped. Siyeh Pass gives you an idea of how high up you really are. There are two mountains here which surround the pass and with a wide angle camera you can capture them as you are making your way. There is a trailhead here where hikers can proceed to explore the mountain. As usual, this place is frequented by bears so it is best to be careful and travel in groups. Having a can of bear spray would also help.
