Browning to Glacier National Park

Day 15

We head out to Glacier National Park. It was a short drive over a rough winding road, but no problem for our vehicle. A hike to Grinnell Glacier was in order. It was a 12 mile round trip adventure, so we being in excellent physical condition didn't give it a second thought. A short way in mountain goats were spotted. It was a nice day starting out, a little cold but partial sun in the big blue sky.

We went about 5 miles out when our senses kicked in and told us not to push our luck. We settled for lunch with great pictures before we turned around. The views are fabulous.

On our way down a black bear was spotted eating berries about 150 feet away. We keep our distance. Stories were heard about a grizzly and cub had been on the same trail the day before. The pepper spray was in our hands. It started to rain with about 1/2 hour to go to get back. A little wet, but quite satisfied. This rain produced snow caps on the mountains were were just on. What a different site from the day before. We heard of a good restaurant at a near by town, so off we went.
