Sleeping Giant

Tried to hike up to chest of Sleeping Giant with a group of 10 - its
a 15 mile round-trip with 5,200' of elevation gain.  We fell 1.5 miles and
over a 1,000' feet short but saw lots of great bitteroot!

Spring in Glacier

Rode my bike to Logan Pass before it was open to cars - got up there late in
the day as they were finishing construction so I was only one up there -
here is the view from the parking lot  (16 miles and 3,100' up).

These are the steps to visitor center - still a bit of snow up there

proof that I made it to the top



Saw these lady slippers on trail to Trout Lake
