Vacation Photos: Glacier National Park

We took a long vacation last week. The first stop was Glacier National Park.

Here are some photos from the park and the surrounding area.

Just a neat tree!

I might try to paint this.

We saw so many waterfalls!

The mountains were impressive and amazing

More mountains

(another good picture to paint)

We walked along a lot of rivers/streams/lakes

Another small waterfall

Lots of hikes to lakes

The other half of the lake

The color blue comes from glacier run off.

Want to know something sad?

The glaciers in the park will be gone by 2030 - that's six years.

Climate change is real, friends.

The best part of this hike was the lake views.

It rained. I did not have a rain coat

It hailed - for a brief moment. That was kind of fun.

The hike starts at a lodge - where the previous day, there had been a fire in the fire place.

I was so looking forward to that fireplace after the rainy cold hike.

Sadly, it was not roaring that day. 

The second best part of the hike, was the main reason for it - getting to this glacier. It was neat to see. 

We took a waterfall hike and saw three waterfalls.

More waterfalls

We also saw a black bear!

Views on the way back

The last hike in Glacier was the Highline Trail. It's a little scary if you're like me and don't like heights. This is one of the passages of the hike.

The views were amazing! 

I loved how the fog snuck in

It's such a gorgeous place! 

Stay tuned for pictures of our next stop: Banff!
