Glacier National Park

We just got back from our adventure to Glacier National Park. It was absolutely beautiful there. We saw moose, black bears, a grizzly bear, mountain goats, ground squirrels, and deer. We camped and Megan was nervous most the time of the bears. We saw the grizzly and black bear not even 8 miles away from our camp. The first night was a little chilly, the second was much warmer. We cut the trip down a couple of days because it was rainy, wanted to make it out of there alive and we had done everything. We had a nice time. If any of you get the chance to go you should. It is so worth it and they estimate the Glaciers will be gone within the next nine years.

Stopped at an awesome park in Coeur d' Alene on the way there and on the way back. The boys also put their feet in at the lake. It was chilly. There were people swimming. Reminded us of the coast.




We saw one black bear in the park and we also went through a drive through park on the way home where the bears were right around our car. Very cool!


One of the 22 or 25 (can't remember what they said) glaciers left in the park.


Our little archeologists.


Logan Pass Visitor Center


They opened the road a week before we went. And the week before we were there, they said there was twice as much snow. Needless to say we didn't get to hike out. Look at all those people hiking out. A lot of them had their hiking sticks/ski poles.

The boys loved seeing these little buses. And most of them had the tops off. Brrrr.



Hanging out on the side of the road. On our back back they were still hanging out.




Awesome moose. Second animal we saw in the park. Emma was not a fan. She started to cry and shake and we were even in the car. She did like the bears though. :)



Roasting marshmallows.

This was a huge stuffed animal at a place we ate at. Emma was in it too, but was scared to death so we took her back off.
