Farewell to the Glaciers


Spent the day in beautiful, Glacier National Park yesterday. Lakes so blue, sheer rock cliffs, green trees, wild flower meadows and rushing water everywhere. They make up for the glaciers that are expected to be gone by 2020. The road To The Sun winds its way up the steep mountain side, (kinda scary) past the Weeping Wall and the work crews hanging off the edges, rebuilding the road. We took a hike to Virginia Falls. The temperature must have dropped 20 degrees when we got to the Falls. It felt so good. We saw an Osprey family, nesting on a tree top, little Pica running around, a group of lazy big horn sheep and white mountain goats sitting on the snow, looking pristine. Sad to say goodbye to the glaciers. I wonder what's next?
