We apologize to all you blog readers for not posting yesterday. Internet & cell phone access in
Glacier National Park is difficult. We stayed in the park for 2 nights & pitched the tent for the first time. It is very easy to setup (thanks Tina).
We spent the entire day in the park. We got up around 6:30am, ate a huge breakfast of 3 eggs, steak, onions, green peppers, toast, & coffee. We took the free park shuttle bus at 8:30am up the Road to the Sun to the Logan Lodge. The Lodge is located on the Continental divide at 6,646 ft. We hiked up 1.5 miles & another 1,000 ft to Hidden Lake. Along the way we saw Marmots, Rams, & Mt. Goats. Jim only had to carry Pepe once (kidding, he did great). We battled several chipmunks over our snacks. After snacking, we headed back to the Lodge & took the shuttle bus to the St. Mary falls trail. After about 0.8 mile hike, we saw a nice water fall. We froze our feet in the glacial water & hiked back.
We continued to have deer in our campsite.
After a good dinner, we hid in the van to avoid the gnats. we headed to bed early, no shower & no electricity makes for early nights. Jim stayed out a few minutes to watch the bats.
