This was the first International Peace Park of the world. Mannick, who has already been skiing in Crans-Montana, where I live, says in the third postcard of this post that the Going-to-the-Sun Road is amazing! And I believe! :)

| Going-to-the-Sun Road |
Going-to-the-Sun Road is a scenic mountain road in the Rocky Mountains of the western United States, in Glacier National Park in Montana. It is the only road that traverses the park, crossing the Continental Divide at Logan Pass. Completed in 1932 and dedicated the following year, the park's fleet of 1930s red buses offer tours on the road. Driven by drivers called "Jammers," they were rebuilt in 2001 to run on propane or gasoline. The road, a National Historic Landmark and a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark, spans 53 miles (85 km) across the width of the park. - in: wikipedia
