July 2016 Glacier National DAY TWO 

July 30th. Started today at 5:30am, why? well the sunrise is at 6:05 am so I wanted to be up to get my camera ready. Summer 2016 Trip_2016_07_30_0135

Had an early breakfast, the buffet again. I’m saving the huckleberry pancakes for tomorrow. One thing that I noticed most of the staff here is they are in their twenties and I was thinking that 20 years ago this would have been something really cool to do. One of the shuttle drivers is a older gentleman that lives in Arizona and comes up here every summer to get away from the heat.  I might have to look into that, but I first need to downsize my life.

In an hour I am taking “Going-to-the-sun road”, an 8 hour bus tour through Glacier National Park more photos and videos to come.

sneak peek until I get to Seattle and can type up a summary on my laptop.

So some quick advice if you are traveling to glacier national Park I would recommend taking the “Going-to-the-sun road” tour first since it gives you a nice overview of of the park and will let you plan for your next couple days of which trails you wish to hike. And if you are a Geocacher, remember to look for the POI. I got too excited about taking pictures that I forgot to look for the answers to the cache questions. Guess I will just have to come back. 😉 I really wish I had another five days; so I could hike all those other trails, the easy day trails would’ve been nice to see.

Oh and one other thing to point out; the people that carry bear spray really need a license or should be trained before they carry. One of my fellow lodgers went on a hike and mentioned that while they were on the trail,  a father sat down and the bear spray went off in his son’s face; not a pleasant experience.

    Carl Lynn, we were there 5 days and still didn’t see everything! Only did two short hikes, but what a lovely place! I love the National Parks! The helicopter tour is also a “must do”. See the glaciers from above, and the ruggedness of the Rocky Mountains up close and personal. Breathtaking.
