It was another gorgeous day, so of course we headed northeast to Glacier. Our first target was Avalanche Lake. The parking area for the trailhead is notorious for overcrowding, so we’d need a miracle to find a spot. Well, miracles happen and we scored a nice spot. We really enjoyed the trail. It’s a great hike: not too short, not too long, not too steep. And the view at the end is amazing.
After some lunch at the lake and a leisurely hike back out, we trucked up to Logan Pass for a jaunt down the Highline Trail. Naturally we had to take a picture along the crazy cliff, hundreds of feet above the highway:
We went a few miles along the Highline before turning around. We weren’t equipped for the full 13 miles, and the ladies were getting hungry. We figured we’d be back in a few days anyway…
