Day 9 July 7

Woowho!! A day off to visit Glacier National Park. I slept in this morning at Apgar campground and then we walked on the shore of lake McDonal to breakfast. Had a quick bite to eat and then waited for 20 minutes for the new shuttles. Bernard Henry the 3rd was our bus driver and he told is of cyclists who tale the shuttles all the way to the top of going to the aim road and fly down at incredible speeds for 15 miles. We got off at Lake McDonald lodge and got onto the classic boat tour ride. The lake water is lightly green tinted die to the rubbing of glacier on rock creating a fine dust that changes the water color. Next, uncle Jeff and I jumped onto another bus and road to Logans Pass. Logans pass is 6200ft. It has a trail to a hidden lake that was only 1.5 miles away so we decided that it was a short enough hike for us. We arrive at Logans pass. It is completely covered with snow! So we hike the long trail. Slowly we pass people who are either to young to continue or just to out of shape to hike all the way. We get to the end of the hike and is it worth it. Completely frozen lake with wildlife all over. We take a break and hand feed the squirrels. Uncle Jeff holds onto the nut for the squirrel and messes with them. We run down back on the snow and ride the bus back to camp and find that we have violated park rules of trash and wood gathering. Just two notes telling us never to do it again.

Miles: 3 in the snow
