Unfortunately there are only 25 glaciers left and not many accessible ones. They predict as early as 20 years there will be no glaciers left in this park. Fortunately the scenery remains stunning – all carved by glaciers.
Very different from the last couple of places we have been and not just because we saw sunshine
More canyons formed by rivers cutting through rock over many years
This point previously had 3 glaciers meeting here, hence the shape of the mountain
A little wildlife – I don’t think these two are really that ‘wild’.
Lake McDonald. This is one of the key stopping places where people kayak, hike and just chill out
Wild Geese Island in Mary Lake. Supposed to be the most photographed place in glacier
Rainbows and waterfalls combined
The park has over 740 miles of hiking trails which is great if the weather stays good. If not you end up with a very wet front and dry back – nicely demonstrated here by P
We were lucky enough to see a black bear one evening when driving out of the park. Just driving along and he walks out in front of us, crossed the road and disappears into the forest at the other side. Would love to share a great photo but in the excitement we only managed to get his backside (or as we like to say – his bear bottom)!
