Our destination is in the large cirque in the background
Profusion of beargrass
Icy cold Iceberg Lake underneath a portion of the 3,000+ ft. cirque wall. We saw two different people jump into the lake during our visit. Uh, no thanks.
Star at our picnic spot. The lodge will pack you a very nice box lunch for $8.95.
Upon our return from Iceberg Lake, we had a nice surprise. Star went to the hotel manager to check for our box and THERE IT WAS! It seems Glacier had it stored in the mail room of another hotel the entire time. I will give the Glacier folks complete credit for sticking with the search until completion. Yippie-aye-yay, now we can proceed with our plans to head deeper into the Glacier Wilderness. For the first time it feels as though the planets have aligned for our vacation.
Park Cafe is worth the twenty mile drive out from Many Glacier Park. It doesn't look it, but the food is fantastic. If you're ever here, make sure to try the avacado burger and salmon tacos...yum! The razzleberry pie is a speciality and leaves you looking for a nap. Now, we are all ready for Thursday's trip to Siyeh Pass, and the Sexton Glacier via Preston Park.
We took a side trip today to the Going to the Sun Road, where you can view everything the park has to offer from your car. Star did a great job taking this little movie of one of the park's many creatures.
