So here's a bit more of Glacier - the Highline Trail - which starts at Logan Pass on the Continental Divide - and meanders through forest and meadows on a one-way hike for 12 miles. The views were spectacular - and we were treated to close encounters with mountain goats, deer and bighorn sheep. The last four miles of the hike were a death march descent... super steep and knee grinding. But well worth the effort!
We ended up many miles down the Going to the Sun Road and picked up one of the new shuttle buses back to Logan Pass. In 2007, Glacier added a free shuttle bus system which is wonderful! It allows point-to-point hiking, but also makes for less traffic in the park. Gotta love it!
Glacier suffered a devastating fire in 2003... but has quickly recovered and is green and beautiful amongst the blackened trees.
