Glacier National Park

Our first campsite in Glacier National Park, on the east side, and we loved it so much we stayed here 2 nights: Two Medicine Campground.

 




Running Eagle falls named for the Blackfeet woman war chief who was buried near the falls. 





Connor's becoming a real pro at setting up the tent with TG.







Lesli watching Connor and TG set up camp. ("Looks great! When you're done would y'all carry my backpack inside the tent for me?")

     







Dinner was usually some kind of pasta. TG is an excellent chef in both indoor and outdoor kitchens, and our favorite meals were his mac-n-cheese and spaghetti dinners.









He was just hoping for a little wake-me-up, but instead he got hold of Connor's hot chocolate cup. Instant chocoholic!









This was the dock at St. Mary's Lake. The Going to the Sun Road was still closed at Logan Pass, so we took a boat ride across the lake and went farther along the road than the cars. We saw one glacier (looked like a patch of snow to me -- I don't know how they can tell), and a beautiful waterfall.




















We looked here for GP and Paul, but they were already gone!!    
 





This was our last spot of the day, Many Glacier. The weather looks great here, but it took a turn for the worse just as we were ready to go hiking!
