After a good nights sleep at Glacier Park Lodge – we got up early and headed out for a drink. He he – just kidding – they were not open yet! So we explored around town which took maybe 10 minutes – then headed out for our day of exploring the South East part of the park.
We pointed our hiking boots towards Trick Falls – an easy hike but very pretty. It is called trick falls because in the Spring the water comes from the top, but sometime later it changes and comes out of the middle like we saw. Cool! (OK – it is officially called Running Eagle Falls after an Indian – but referred to as trick falls)
Then we drove from the Two Medicine Lake area (The southern entrance on the East side to St Mary, the beginning of the Going to the Sun Road and the middle entrance to the East side of the park.) The views were beautiful and we got all excited when we saw two black bear off in the distance – only to get close and realize they were not bears, but Black Angus. LOL So we were excitable.
We hiked up to the Historic Ranger Station – from 1913. No one else was up there and we were pretty nervous about the bears!
We decided to head on to the Many Glacier area where we were staying the next 4 days. We stopped at the Park Cafe thinking about the pie we had read about. But Bryce talked me into sharing Nachos and then we were too full for pie!
The views into Many Glacier were beautiful, we even saw some Mountain Goats but they are on the other camera…But we were greeted with the horses by the parking lot and we had to say hello.
Bryce loved the falls in front of the hotel and watching the guys diving in. He would have been right there with them had his mom not been right there!
Our hotel is awesome and in the most beautiful setting. We are happy! Our room is charming in a historic way – but our balcony with it’s wonderful view is where we like to hang out.
