Glacier National Park
My latest adventures have been in Glacier National Park. What a park! The mountains are so tall and the lakes are so blue. Glacier National Park was carved by glaciers thousands of years ago. Some of the glaciers are still here but most of them have melted away. Did you know that melting glaciers make really pretty blue lakes?
We went on two hikes to two different lakes. I met a mountain goat on the way to Hidden Lake. He was very friendly.
Gideon taught me how to fly fish at Hidden Lake, but neither one of us caught anything. I think it was because the water was so clear the fish knew what we were up to.
We also hiked to Grinnell Lake where I watched a waterfall in the distance. All of the water was runoff from Grinnell glacier, up on the side of the mountain.
We didn't see any bears on our hikes. I think it was because Emily was making so much noise on the trail yelling, "Hey Bear!" every other minute. I guess it's good to let Grizzly bears know you are coming. You don't want a surprised Grizzly on your hands--at least, I don't!
