Glacier

Glacier...no words can describe the scale and beauty!  CRAZY gorgeous.  The gigantic scale, dizzying height, shocking number and unrivaled beauty of the sharp glacier carved mountains, and thousands of waterfalls is something no picture can capture.  The 360 view all the time in all directions...unreal!

I planned this trip months and months ago and it did not disappoint.  The family likes it better than Yellowstone even!  I planned lots of hikes, but traveling with a large family and a 6 year old means we get only about half in.  We'll have to go back!

Alyssa on the second to last day tripped and badly cut open her shin (right by the parking lot thank goodness at least...after a 4 mile hike!) which required a trip to the ER an hour away on an indian reservation.  She got 6 staples.

Her birthday was on our last day there so the waiters made an ice cream sunday on her head!

We saw black bears at a drive through bear park, and saw a mother grizzly and two cubs in Glacier right by the Many Glacier hotel and road.

**Update...just found this post in my drafts folder months later.  I'll post it as is even though I was going to add more to it.  I'm just about a year behind...that's all!
