Glacier Clarified

I was interested to read Judith Morgan’s column (“Driving to the Sun in Glacier Park,” Oct. 27) because it cleared up a point concerning transportation.

I, too, had traversed this route in an open touring car, but friends who had also gone over it by car knew nothing about it. The clarification was that coaches, being too long to negotiate the bends, go another route and groups are transferred to the big red cars to head north.

We went in June, probably the best month scenery-wise, and the trip was one of the most thrilling events of my whole life, aided by the fact that the touring cars are equipped with rails--to support the tops in case of rain--which can be used by passengers to hold onto while standing up. The difference in what may be seen from a regular car and from one of those open cars is surely indescribable.
