Thursday morning we woke up to rain, but it cleared quickly and turned out to be a beautiful day. After all the rain & snow we had it was great to see sunshine!

We decided to drive north to Many Glacier and hike around there. We saw some mountain goats near the entrance to the park. They appeared to be very used to people and just meandered around us. In this area the mountain peaks appeared to be more massive and snow covered from the recent snowstorm.

We hiked Redrock Falls Trail which was about 4 miles round trip. It took us about 3 hours to hike because we stopped a lot along the trail since everywhere we looked was so beautiful. We crossed several mountain streams, hiked through alpine forests of spruce and aspens and past Swiftcurrent lake on our way to the falls. Redrock Falls was very pretty and we ate a picnic lunch there. It was an incredibly beautiful hike. We hiked another trail that was just as beautiful. We also saw a moose eating on the side of the road.

We thought we would finally stay up to see the stars, but it doesn’t get dark around here to almost 11 and we were exhausted from all the hiking.

Friday, Going to the Sun Road was supposed to be open, but the opening was delayed because of all the snow. We were disappointed, but decided to check out the Two Medicine area of Glacier Park. It is south of where we are staying.

The drive down was beautiful. Hwy 49 is a very winding road with little or no shoulders, but the views were incredible. Wildflowers were blooming everywhere.

We hiked Aster Park Trail in Two Medicine area . The hike went to another waterfall. It was nice but not as spectacular as the other water falls. The trail was nice and went through aspen groves, alpine areas, and mountain streams & meadows.

On the way out of Two Medicine we saw a mother brown bear and her 2 cubs and the side of the road eating.

We drove over the East Glacier to see the Glacier Park Lodge. It is another lodge built by The Great Northern Railroad. The hotel is worth visiting just to see the lobby. The lobby was erected using 500 to 800 huge old Douglas Firs. It is quite something to see.

Stopped and had huckleberry pie and ice cream in East Glacier. It really was good!

We are now headed to Yellowstone, travel days Saturday and Sunday. Will be there on Monday.

Hope you enjoy the pic’s, will write soon. God bless…
