Avalanche Lake - so named because of all the avalanche chutes that surround the lake.

Me in Avalanche Lake - it was pretty chilly, but felt good on my sweaty feet.

Avalanche Falls

Lake McDonald - the largest lake in Glacier park. It's a wonderful (although a bit chilly) place for a post hike swim!

Me at the beginning of the Higline Trail, about 1/4 mile from Logan Pass. The following pictures are views along the Highline trail.

Haystack Butte (the large flat top mt in the distance), Going-to-the-Sun Road, and the Garden Wall - Contintal Divide.

Can you find the bear in this picture? Hint it's the big brown thing just above the bush. This bear was spotted on the side of the road on the way to Waterton Lakes. We aren't sure if it was a grizzly or a black bear.

Me, Margie, and Kristen enjoying a yummy lunch at Bear Grass "Flats" along the Carthew-Alderson trail in Waterton Lakes NP. Bear Grass "Flats" was anything but - it was more like "Bear Grass 45 degree angle" or "Bear Grass Avalanche Chute" - but it was a spectacular lunch spot with a great view!

Cameron Lake, Waterton Lakes NP Alberta, Canada

Cameron Falls, Waterton Townsite.

We had a "free day" to explore the Waterton Townsite which is part of Wateron Lakes National Park in Canada. Combined the two parks - Glacier and Waterton - form Glacier/Waterton Lakes International Peace Park. One of the activities on our day off was to take a boat from the townsite to Goat Haunt, which is actually back in Montana. This picture shows the border between US and Canada.

The boat docked at Goat Haunt Montana.

Grinnell Glacier

Chain of three lakes as seen from the top. 1st lake: Grinnell Lake, 2nd lake: Lake Josephine, 3rd lake: Swiftcurrent Lake. We walked past all three on our way up to the glacier.

This creek flowed right across the trail! It was so hot that we all put our heads in the water and got out hats wet. This was a time where having a thick cotton hat was a benefit - those with "quick dry" hats didn't get the continual cooling that I did! :) I actually sat down in the middle of the creek and it felt so good!

As a special treat on the last day of the trip we were shuttled to the trail in a historic Red Jammer Bus!
