Glacier National Park!!

 


Waterton Lakes and Glacier meet along the 
International Boundary. In 1932 the governments of 
Canada and the United States linked these parks, 
creating the world's first International Peace Park.
Going-to-the-Sun Road is the main road
through Glacier National Park and this year you 
had to have a ticket ahead of time to get in. 
This is Sacred Dancing Cascade.
This area has always been sacred to the Blackfeet,
 Salish, and Kootenai peoples.

I love this morning photo. 
We were in the park by 7:00 am!

We arrived at Logan Pass and it was so crowded 
that we couldn't even park.  I jumped out and 
took a picture even though we didn't get to hike
to Hidden Lake. 
Jackson Glacier 
God's beautiful world!
Lake Sheburne in Many Glacier
If camping is not your style, you can also stay at
Many Glacier Hotel/Lodge.
The next day we started a hike along Two Medicine Lake.
 We found out that the trailhead started 
in the campground down the road a mile. 
Oh well, at least we had a parking spot.
Stunning views at the start of our hike. 
Wow, we were so surprised to walk by 
this moose that was only 10-12 feet away!! 


On the way back we saw a Grouse with a few babies
and a Western Toad also known as the Boreal Toad.
There is only one toad species that live here. 
In the campground there were two Mountain Goats.
Well worth this 9 mile hike. 
It did take our legs two days to recover!
