We didn't get started on our Avalanche Lake hike until 11:15 this
morning. The kids were troopers and went all the way up without
complaining.
Once they saw the lake though they just wanted to stop.
Military
mommy pushed them farther so that we could go to the end of the lake
and have an area more to ourselves. Luckily the troops had a good time
sticking their feet in the water and getting refortified.
This
water was pretty cold and I wasn't in for long but if it was between
staying sweaty or kind of getting a shower, I was getting clean!
Hike: Avalanche Lake
Trails Used: Avalanche Lake Trail
Distance: 6.91 miles
Difficulty: Difficult
Overall average: 2.1 mph
Overall Time: 3 hrs, 15 min
Total Ascent: 2193 ft.
When we were done we took the bus and headed up Logan Pass.
The
rising sun road is just amazing. Between the views, waterfalls, and
just the construction/layout of the road you are in awe. Glacier
National Park is extremely picturesque! We saw a goat on the way up and
some sheep from far away. On the way down we had to wait for a goat
to cross the road.
C was enamored with the bus
and Q fell asleep.
Made it back around six that night with two very tired people.
