Glacier National Park

We had a blast exploring Glacier National Park today. It is soooo beautiful here! The beauty has taken my breath away many times today. We slept in a little longer than we probably should have because by the time we got to the Apgar visitors center there was a really long line for the shuttle that takes you to Avalanche Creek where we then wanted to get on another shuttle to go on the 'Going to the Sun' road. After we made it on the shuttle though it went really quickly. The road up to Logan Pass was amazing! The mountains are so majestic here. We all just stared out the windows the whole time. Even Ryder kept pointing and saying "Whoa!"

Once we got to Logan Pass we started hiking to Hidden Lake. We saw mountain goats everywhere. And a lot of chipmunk and squirrels. The sky was looking dark but we kept on going! And then Ryder started getting grumpy because he was hungry and tired but we kept on going! I'm glad we didn't turn around because Hidden Lake was gorgeous! On our way back we did get rained on pretty good, but it's definitely a fun memory to have.

We are having a great time here! Everyone is so nice! The Rangers, the shuttle drivers, and the other tourists have been so friendly. Brad was wearing his Indian University hat so it sparked a lot of fun conversations with people from the Midwest.

No bear sightings for us yet but we heard stories from a few others who had seen one. I'm hoping that if we do end up seeing one, that we are a safe distance away. 😁
