Inside Lake McDonald Lodge. We enjoyed dinner there one night.

Baring Falls.

A black bear crossed the trail in front of us as we neared St. Mary's Falls. He was entirely disinterested in us. This is the first time any of us have seen a bear in the wild.

The view from St. Mary's Falls. (The falls are behind me.)

St. Mary's Falls. It's really that color blue.

The photo contest of the trip. We probably have 60 shots of this.

On the way to Virginia Falls.

Another shot from St. Mary's Falls. The lighting was better on the way back.

Along the Highline Trail. We hiked from Logan Pass to Granite Chalet then descended back to The Loop (the one hairpin turn on Going To The Sun road). Total mileage was just under 12 miles. We got started later than we wanted due to the number of other folks trying to catch the shuttle at the Loop in the morning. Mt. Oberlin is on the right. You'll see it again in the distance in later shots. You can see Going to the Sun road below us.

Bear grass along the Highline Trail. You can see Going to the Sun road snake along the mountain. The tall peak in the distant center is Mount Oberlin (pretty sure!), near where we started the hike at Logan Pass.

This marmot was not about to get off the trail. We had to keep backing up to stay out of his way.

"Attack Marmot"

He eventually posed for a shot.
