Glacier National Park

Sorry I didn't get the post done last night.

After our long day of driving yesterday, we took it easy this morning and just relaxed for a while.  When we were ready, we went back into Columbia Falls to pick up a few groceries at a big beautiful store, and gassed up the truck in Hungry Horse.

On the way back to the RV, we went up a road to the Hungry Horse power dam.  576 feet high.  Quite an impressive spot for this little out-of-the-way area.  Who knew this was here?

We were considering going to the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington on the way to Seattle, but have decided not to as it's way out of the way for us, and we're on a bit of a time restriction until we leave Seattle.  So this Hungry Horse dam gave us our "dam fix".

After lunch, we ventured into Glacier National Park.  We stopped at the visitor centre to get some recommended trails to do.  There are so many, it's impossible to pick the good ones without knowing something about them.  A lot of them are through the woods.  The one we chose for today runs along McDonald Creek.  This is McDonald Falls.

Quite an impressive amount of water running through narrow areas.  I call this "scary water".

It was a very nice trail through, I'm guessing, redwood forest.  Those rocks there look like parts of giant fossilized tree trunks.

We get glimpses of the mountains, but the clouds were around the tops.

Beautiful views.

I find it kinda weird doing selfies.

OK, the horses can have the bridge.

Gerard eating his "huck pie" after dinner.  Huckleberry, that is.  The huckleberries aren't out yet, seasonally, but I'm sure they've stored up lots of them from last year's crop.
