| partners | | | Back to Glacier National Park after several years -- this is a wonderful hike to get warmed up for our upcoming backpack in the Belly River Area. We lucked out finding parking easily this day! This is a very popular hike in the area, and it was crowded. That said, we still had a marvelous time on the trail, our hiking poles made it a lot easier to say upright as we made our way across icy snowbanks that still covered much of the trail. Early on we saw a huge expanse of glacier lilies! We were treated to some fine wildlife along the way as well - goats and sheep posed and went about their business. We dawdled a bit at the overlook, still icy down at the lake and the views were magnificent. We made our way back, again distracted by the views and more lily fields |

I hiked in 2022 finally! Thanks Angela for being patient with me ambling along with my short "******" legs! We made it to the top to some stunning views. What sticks in my mind is the beautiful large multiarmed saguaros, superlong views, the scramble (Glad I had the gloves) and the wonderful company in Angela -- it was a long time since we had a good hike & camp! 
The tread here could use some help in sections - sketchy for the casual hiker for sure. There is a lot of cabled sections - more than I expected. Generally slow go especially if you get caught behind a big group naviating the cabled areas.
