71005 The drive along Glacier Park's southern border offers incredible scenery,

interesting rest stops and very few people. Let's stop at Essex, Montana on Highway 2 to see a typical example.

30605 Continue east on Highway 2 and you'll see the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Monument. A sixty foot stone obelisk constructed in 1931.

The memorial honors "T.R's" policies on forest conservation and the construction of the "Theodore Roosevelt International Highway"

connecting Portland, Oregon and Portland, Maine: today's US Highway 2.

Next (picture right) to the stone obelisk is the "John Frank Stevens Memorial Statue."

Did you notice the size of the "crowds?" Plus, the scenery along Glacier Park's southern border is pretty nice.
