One hug we received today was on our hike back down the mountain. Up aways we thought we heard music but weren't sure. As we came down further, we saw this couple playing the Swiss Alps horns. Beautiful sound in the mountains!! We talked with them awhile. They live in the area and said they enjoy plaing on the mountain. Today was Swiss Alps day and they wanted to play their horns again. On quiet, nonwindy days, they said they can hear a 15 sec echo, but today was too windy for the echo. We were blessed and thanked them for sharing with us in this way.
Welcome to Glacier National Park! What a wonderful day. We were once again awed by the Creator of all and at one point we even sang "Oh Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder, consider all the world Thy hands have made".Pictures just don't really show what we saw, but we will share a bit of the day. We are tired tonight, but have felt hugged by God in many ways.
We found this friend along the path. It is called a "hoary marlot". Mel thought it looked like a groundhog with a squirrel tail.
Silly grandma, wearing sandals and hiking in the snow!!
Hey Dawson, Jasmine, Alia, Owen--here is grandpa throwing you a snowball from Montana. Did it hit you??
Creatures we saw on our hike up the mountain. These mountain goats were up in the grass and then walked out across the walkway. We enjoyed esp watching the baby goat
We went hiking at Logan Pass up the mountain 1.5 mile one way and then back down. Oh what a hike. If we had known that included going through 5 drifts of snow, we would have changed shoes! We had sandals on, but just continued because it was too far to go back. We laughed and laughed. It was well worth the hike. It was cold and windy and we were thankful that we grabbed the hooded sweat shirts before we started.
We needed to drive through several of these tunnels
There were quite a few different size waterfalls along the road.There was also a waterfall that was called the weeping wall and we needed to drive very close to it. It sounded like it was raining as we drove through there. Very pretty!
We drove across Glacier Park on the Going-to-the-sun road, approx 58 miles. It got very narrow and was one way at places. Once in awhile I told Mel to stay over because my side of the road had a very small stone wall and then dropped waaaaaaaay down!
What a beautiful sight!
