Glacier NP 4: Grinnell Glacier

Here's a picture Rosie took during our Highline hike which I should have included in the last post.


Okay, next day we got up pretty early, mixed up some Cafe Bustelo with cold water and powdered milk, and headed over the pass. On the east side of the Pass:


Note, when camping with Rosie, fashion is always priority number one.


Wild Goose Island in Saint Mary Lake. No one else has ever taken a photo from this exact spot.


Sherburn reservoir. After I took this, I could hear some rustling in the bushes below. I clapped my hands and a bear stuck his head up over the bushes and looked right at me. I got back in the car quick.


The Many Glacier Hotel.


Waiting for a boat which will ferry us across the lake, then a short walk, then another boat across the next lake. On the first boat ride, we saw an albino grizzly bear (from a long distance) on the mountainside, very rare and maybe sacred to natives.





The beginning of our hike from the upper lake boat dock, visible across the water.
