Glacier National Park. May 2015. Stop 5 - 4 days

Morning light

Breakfast

7 miles in at Upper Quartz Lake

Cabin on Bowman Lake

The adrenaline kicked in knowing we were miles from anyone. With grizzly’s, wolves, and mountain lions roaming around.

Magic forrest

Best Americano and baked goods in the middle of nowhere.

Red rocks

The clouds created interesting light.

The trees in glacier almost looked fake they were so symmetrical.

It felt like what I would imagine the alps to feel like.

Hiking

Their was still quite a bit of snow in the upper elevations. The rivers and streams were raging.

Sunset from Camp

We stayed in Glacier for 4 days. The sun only came out for a day and the evening of our last day. After the first day and a half we almost left because all our stuff was soaking wet. We couldn’t make a fire and we were sitting in our car in torrential down pours. We decide to stay for the planned time with hopes of better weather and it payed off. It would have sucked to have driven all the way there from Vermont and not see any of the mountains. We took advantage of the sunlight and crammed in a two hikes one of them 13 miles. We adapted to being loud instead of quite yelling “HEEEYY BEAR” every once and a while. It was a truly refreshing experience, it made me feel wild and free. Glacier was one of my favorite places on this trip. I wish we could have stayed longer. I loved the wild west feel combined with the alpine meadows and colored mountains. There was a slight resemblance of Vermont in there too. Highly suggest making the trip there if you have never been.
