Couple Days in Glacier (NFR)

Wife and I headed over to the East side for a few days.

Got the rig squared away,

working our way up to the lake; the Highline Trail's on the other side of this arette (we'll be hiking that next week)

grizz appetizer

almost there (spotted a moose downslope to the left)

bighorns up on the tallus slopes (again out of zoom range)

asked a ranger about the zig-zag path on the snow - he said it was probably from a wolverine; another hiker had spotted some on snowfields on another nearby trail a few days before

we had seen a grizz here in the berry patches on the way up, but only for a sec and too far for photos

not this time

only 1 mile

http://i1302.photobucket.com/albums/...ps01fc422e.jpg

worth it

Scott,

Thanks for taking us along on your trip. Awesome country!

Ralph

Wonderful place. Thank you for taking us along. Jim

Thanks for the pics. Almost like being there with you!

We spent time at GNP last summer on our way to Vancouver. A beautiful place. We went on to Vancouver and met up with our son and his wife and kids and we all went on a cruise to the inside passage. Had a great trip.

Some AWESOME pictures you have and I am sure some great memories.

Very nice Scott.Thanks. My sister -in-law just picked up the smaller version of your camper, the Scamp.Very nice campers.
Hope you have many more great trips.
Best,
Steve
