Avalanche Lake, Glacier National Park, Montana

After 8+ hours on the scenic highways of northern Idaho and southern Montana, we made it to Hungry Horse, Montana - gateway to Glacier National Park - which will be our home for the next 7 days/nights.

We'd planned to ride the Going To The Sun Highway - but the road isn't fully open yet; so we opted for a hike on the Trail of the Cedars and up to Avalanche Lake. 5+ miles along a beautiful trail though the forest, along the roaring Avalanche Creek, and up to Avalanche Lake. On the way back down the trail, we saw a brown bear in the woods (but it wasn't close enough to get a picture)!
