Still traveling, but it's over in less than a week...crying daily

Susan & Frank at Grinnell Glacier
Since the last post, we hiked over 60 miles in Waterton Lakes and Glacier Parks. We've had a blast. In Waterton Lakes & Glacier, we hiked the following trails:
  • Waterton Lake - passing through U.S. Customs at Goat Haunt,
  • Upper Rowe Lake - getting up close and personal with a bear (closer than the ski lift!)
  • Crypt Lake - climbing a ladder attached to a cliff and passing through a natural tunnel,
  • Grinnel Glacier - seeing a glacier and getting involved in a helicopter recovery of a hiker,
  • Highline - running into bighorn sheep and three mountain goats, and
  • Iceberg Lake - the name says it all.

    Since leaving the parks, Frank and I stopped at the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center at Great Falls and sampled great food and beer in Helena, MT.Tomorrow, we head to North Dakota and Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

  1. I really can't believe it's been nearly 10 weeks already since you left Baltimore! This is a beautiful picture, you look so content and the scenery is just amazing.
