Times got serious at Glacier today. It was time to hit the trail. We joined the park ranger at 10:30 a.m. for the assault on "Scenic Point". You have never seen a hike like this... only 6.2 total miles up and back but the up part was 2350 feet. That means a step forward and a step up. There were rocks, rocks, and more rocks to trip over, slide on and hike through. It was exhasting and wonderful all in the same motion. Here is Jennifer on the way up. Still looking fit and chipper.
Here is one of the more serious hikers who took the "most strenuous" walk in the park. Some of you might know him as Hiker Raul Baker.
One of the pictures taken from the top of the world. What a wild walk! This is Scenic Point. Walk up there when you come to Glacier. You will always remember the trip with a view of Lower and Upper Two Medicine Lakes.
Jennifer is a real trooper and pushed herself to the top. We had a bite to eat and then down the same path we struggled up. Tomorrow we look for even a greater challenge for ourselves (not). The apline flower were all blooming and quite beautiful.

Wow, what a trip. We hiked in Colorado recently and it was hard work. Come and see us on your way back to Springfield. We're not too far from Weston. Barb W
