Ok, ok after this we'll move on from Glacier. There is just so much to share!
In our campground we made friends with two wildly adventurous couples, who like us, were open ended traveling. We had so much fun crammed in a trailer while waiting out a storm, making dinner, watching a movie, having a campfire and trading stories. I always say half of traveling is what you see and the other half is who you meet. I am so grateful to have met these inspiring people. Now about hiking!
Hiking in Glacier is a physically challenging but an incredibly rewarding experience. Once we reached the mountains by foot, I realized how little I had seen from the road. It was out on the trails we encountered the real adventures of Glacier: witnessing wildlife, standing right next to glaciers and the water gushing from them into waterfalls and rivers, seeing every color in the rainbow in the surrounding rocks and truly feeling the grander of the mighty glacier carved mountains. Glacier National Park is a place that will stay close to my heart forever. We plan to return soon and often, to hike many more trails, witness more wildlife and become evermore strengthened by the wonder of this enchanting place.
