As we followed the trail along St. Marys lake we were presented with lots of spots for great pictures. Unfortunately, our timing for this shot was not so good as the park service boat was motoring along here. I tried to hide it behind the tree.

Zoomed in picture from the previous picture. You can see the ripples from the boat, but what I was trying to capture was the large boulder that rolled itself into the middle of the lake.

Awesome view of the lake and the towering peaks that surround the lake. On the other side is Going to the Sun Road, the only road through the park. Unfortunately, that meant we heard a lot of motorcycle traffic along this route.

This was a section of the lake where a section was completely isolated from the rest of the lake. There wasn't any inlet or outlet to this area. Really looked like an interesting area to explore on a hot summer day.

At the end of our walk along St. Marys lake we turned to go up and over a small pass. This area had been hit be a fire in the last couple of years and all the fireweed was doing well in this area.

As we reached the top of the pass, I looked back down at our trail through the burn region and thought this was a neat view. We walked about 7 miles through the burn area and during that time the wind was howling through there and it sounded like people yelling and screaming. Pretty eerie!

We were walking along a smaller lake where our campsite for the night was going to be at the head of the lake and saw this moose in the distance grazing on the vegetation on the bottom of the lake. I used my zoom lense and was trying to capture this beautiful picture.

As we got closer to the moose he decided to come out of the lake and investigate us. This is still using the zoom, so it is not as close as you might think.

This was really awesome, the moose kept walking toward us. He kept an eye on us, but kept eating the brush.

I think we got the look on this one. At this point we just stopped and kept taking pictures.

After our encounter with the moose we set up the Hilton Hotels for a relaxing evening. As we were drying out our wet clothes from the day, we had a weasel come running down the path to check out our campsite until he realized we were there.

This is the view we had from our campsite. This is the same lake where the moose was grazing. Notice the burin out on the other side of the lake, that is what we walked through for the last 7 miles.

The next day as we headed up towards the next pass we had to conquer, we came across this winding waterfall.

This is looking down into the valley that we have been slowly climbing up during the day. You can see where the burn stopped and the lush green remains. It was nice to get through the burn area. The burn makes for an interesting section of the trip, but does get old pretty quickly with the sun beating down on you and the wind screaming at you.

Another look back down the valley as we continued to go up. This section just kept going and going up. This was going to be a long day.

We finally made it to the top. The wind was howling and forced us to get out our jackets as our clothes were soaked from all the climbing. I thought the rock formations and lines on this wall were really cool.

Of course, we have to have the customary picture proving we made it to the top.

A beautiful view of a small lake nested in the bowl the peaks made. Obviously, this is a glacier fed lake.

One of my favorite parts of these trips is getting above tree line. I don't get to see this much in the southeast while backpacking. Does this look like the trail to nowhere?

Looking down at Medicine Grizzly Lake. Very beautiful lake surrounded by all the lush green trees. Lots of people said that moose love to hang out in this area and you can see why.

Ok, so I really like to take pictures of random peaks!

Check out this campsite, right along the Morning Star Lake. On this day it got a little bit colder, kind of what we expected in Glacier. The down jackets came out at this site while we were eating dinner.

Across the lake from our campsite was this snowpack that had a snow cave where the water was flowing from the melting.

The next day was going to be one of the best climbs and views of the trip. We are heading up to Triple Divide Pass. As we made it to the top of the pass, this is an awesome look down the valley we just hiked up. There was no break from this climb. As soon as we left camp that morning, it was time to go up until we hit the pass.

Here are some small lakes created by the snow melt that you could only see from the pass. The snow was nestled right up to the steep walls.

On the top of the pass, I saw this rock formation and thought it was really cool to see how the rock was breaking up throughout the years during the freeze\thaw that it is exposed to each year.

Before we head down the other side of the pass I took this picture to show all the snow that was still around. If you look closely at the middle left side you can see the waterfall this snow melt had created.

Capturing our trail and our destination valley. See the peak behind the small lake, the valley behind it was where we were headed for the night.

On our way off the pass, the waterfall tumbled down into Grizzly Medicine Lake. This was like a scene from the Lord of the Rings movie.

Another look at the Grizzly Medicine Lake and the other smaller lake higher up that is nestled in the bowl of the peaks. We figured that smaller lake was being fed by a glacier and sure enough, there it is. Also, really enjoyed the lush green of this area.
