Glacier National Park.....

Welcome to Glacier….

We arrived at Glacier National Park! Staying at Indian Creek campground in between stops, where we got a much needed laundry day done. The campground we were staying at is called North American Campground only five minutes away from the Park’s entrance.  Our first trip to the Glacier we went on a Scenic Hike up to Avalanche Lake .The Lake’s name refers to snow slides that roar down the steep slopes during the winter and spring.  We went early so it wouldn’t be that crowded. Once you get out of the parking lot there was a paved trail that led up. Where we saw a humongous tree. After the paved trail, you get on the real trail going uphill, while walking you pass a roaring river, and then you incline. Once we got to Avalanche Lake we got a few minutes, and then it started raining. It was beautiful rain or shine. We headed down passing tours and a lot of people coming up. Since I was wearing a red raincoat  (I got many comments that I looked like little Red Riding Hood!)  By the time we were going down it was raining so hard, you felt really bad for the people on the tour. We got into our car and headed up to Logan’s pass. Luckily It stopped raining. As we went up the pass let me paint a little picture about Logan’s Pass roads. Narrow. While we were getting to the top we got hit by the fog. You could barely see in front of the car.  At the Visitor Center where we planned to take our walk. It was so foggy that the walk just faded away. We headed down and went home. We had a great time exploring Glacier!
