Day 1 - arrive in Park on an overcast and somewhat blustery day. Eat lunch at Park Cafe (no huckleberry pie :tt: , place order for 3 pieces to pick up the next day). Cxl Plan A: hike to Preston Park. Change hike plan, decide to loaf off by heading to Many Glacier area after checking into Rising Sun. On drive to Many Glacier, pull off on the side of Many Glacier Road for a flora shoot. Almost make it to Swiftcurrent TH but were stopped at a bear jam. Got out and took video and pics of mama bear with her 3 cubs and a yearling further down the mountain.

Put foot on Swiftcurrent Trail. Rain starts :( , head back to car, drop Ambika at Many Glacier Lodge during pouring rain and join her after parking car in lot above Lodge (I had the umbrella). Go to lounge to catch a huckleberry beer :) . Sit outside on porch until rain starts in earnest. Go inside to watch the weather front come in (engulfs Many Glacier valleys completely) and eventually go out. Meet couple from Houston who will be hiking up Gunsight Trail and then staying a nite at the Chalet. We will see them there.

Decide weather front is here to stay. Plan C, head to the Cattle Baron Supper Club :D . Stop alongside Many Glacier Road to take photos and film a rolling fog bank over a boggy area. Eat a GREAT steak at Supper Club. Call it good for the nite and turn in after heating up our rooms.

For me, sometimes it's just as much about the journey as the destination.
Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled.
