Many Glacier

Day 145 – 9/14/13 -15.6 mi (2652.3)

Another great day in Glacier National Park! Today’s little hike took us over Piegan pass, with towering mountains full of glaciers surrounding us. The views just keep getting better every day here.

We also found a good supply of huckleberries on the way down. Down by Josephine and Swiftcurrent lakes, the tourists were swarming, most taking boat rides across the lake, I guess to avoid the 2 mile hike from the parking lot?

At Many Glacier, we quickly grabbed a few resupply items. They close for the season in 2 days, so pickins were very slim. Thankfully, they had plenty of ice cream left. Most of us bought showers, though with all the swimming we’ve been doing, I was already feeling pretty clean!

Our gang plus Papa Smurf and HighLife all had dinner at the only restaurant together. We get to camp in a hiker site at the regular campground, meaning we have flush toilets, trash cans, and bear lockers. I’m getting spoiled.
