Glacier National Park, Montana
Plan 1 for the day, go to Logan Pass and climb at least one of the surrounding Peaks. Unfortunately a storm front moved in while we on our way to Logan Pass. By the time we got to the trailhead it was blowing a cold rain, and visibility dropped to less than 100 feet. Not climbing on wet rock so looked for an alternate plan. Avalanche Lake it was.
Normally this is one of the busiest trails in the park, but today Matt and I had it to ourselves. I never thought I would see this trail empty. I like it this way!
We explored all the way around the lake, something I have never been able to do because I have never come except when the water is at it's highest. Found this neat little caterpillar, looks like he should be at a Punk Rock concert. As cold as it is he might need to be getting on with becoming a butterfly.
As always the lower parts of the creek were pretty and very colorful. It amazes me how just a short distance away I can be above tree line but it is so lush in this valley.
Headed to the east side of the park after we got done with this hike. We planned to camp in Two Medicine for the night and meet up with another Vet that Matt knows from California. Didn't get our summit but still had a great day in Glacier.
