We have seen many beautiful flowers at Glacier. They are all in a hurry to bloom and make seeds before the fall snows start. Here is but one to encourage you to visit this place yourself.
We drove back through the park and stopped at all the places we missed on Sunday when we first arrived. This photo is on Avalanche Creek. There is a wonderful board walk through the cedars to the creek. This area is like a tropic rainforest with many mature trees. Being mature myself I could identify with this area.
Cutting through the rock bluff is Avalanche Creek. We decided to not hike to Avalanche Lake but instead leave it for our next visit. Notice the water's color. Blue green water is a sure bet of glacier runoff. But don't you runoff until you see the next picture.
This gorge at Sunlit has really cut deep. It got into the low 90's today but the breeze coming out the gorge is about 60 degrees. Jennifer had to put her arms around me to stop my shivers. I was faking some for more holding. Tomorrow we will have no cell phone or internet coverage as we stay inside the park. So take a day off from running home to check our glacier vacation and check in with us on Friday evening when we get to Sheridan, WY as we start the long trip home. We will be hiking 10 miles to see Iceburg Lake most of the day tomorrow at Many Glacier. Friend Glenn wonders if this travel log could be come a mini-series. I'm think it lacks a little action. Your thoughts?
