Glacier Park

So our trip to Montana was great. Clara left with 2 teeth and came back with 5. However, she didn't act like she was teething. She was so excited about new things to look at, she was great.

Glacier Park was beautiful. We hiked to a place called Ptarmigan Falls. This is a view of our hike, along with some pictures of the falls.We then drove on the main road that goes across the park. It's called Going to the Sun Highway. At a place called Logan's Pass we stopped to look at the Mountain Goats that roam free. It's also a place where you can see a glacier up close. My sister, Emma, is the one in the picture with Jeremy.Notice the snow next to the water fall, it's part of a glacier.We then hiked to a place called Avalanche Lake. The hike itself was beautiful. It's my favorite hike at Glacier. It has trees all along the path, so it is shaded the whole way.Then at the end of the hike is a breath taking scene. The pictures just don't do it justice. Notice all the waterfalls coming down off the mountain. Glacier definitely has MANY waterfalls.This was on our way back to the car from Avalanche Lake. Clara was so tuckered out that she fell asleep on the way back, and she didn't even have to hike!

Thanks for the photos. It brings back memories of my own trip to Glacier when I was 11. I think 20 years is long enough. It's time to go again.
