Glacier National Park

[JohnScott]

Spent a couple days at Glacier National Park.

Did a warm up hike the first afternoon at Two Medicine. And a longer hike the following day on the Ptarmigan Lake Trail out of Many Glacier.

Thought you all might enjoy some pix.

And one of the many outstanding vistas along the Ptarmigan Lake Trail.

Glacier National Park is one of the truly outstanding places to spend time. The Many Glacier area offers a number of hikes with a wonderful variety of scenery.

Hope you all have had or get the chance to see it for yourself at some point.

P.S. Saw a grizzly while we were at Many Glacier, and the second evening we spent at Two Medicine we got to watch a black bear foraging just above the campground. Several mountain goats were hanging out on another mountain at Two Medicine.

John,

Very nice pics; Many Glacier and Two Medicine are favorites. We hiked Logan Pass-Granite Chalet a few weeks ago; was hoping to see some bighorns to go with the goats we ran into (not literally) on the trail but no luck. When we got back to Logan, there were 4 of them chowing down on scraps of food in the parking lot.

Regards,
Scott

Glacier is beautiful. We were there last July, it was a little colder though. Logan Pass had just opened when we got there. Here's Brenda at Logan Pass. She's 5'11" so you can see how deep the snow was on July 15th, 2011.
