Two Medicine - Glacier

I went up to the Two Medicine area of Glacier to hike the Pitamkin Pass-Dawson Pass loop - a 19 mile trail. Weather was great (a little windy on the exposed sections).  This is some Beargrass above Oldman Lake on way to Pitamkin Pass

The view from Pitamkin Pass into Pitamkin Lake towards the Cut Bank area

Saw a Ptarmigan with her chicks - this one of them

Looking back towards Pitamkin Pass - this part of the hike was a bit exposed and windy

One of the park boats on Two Medicine Lake with Mt Sinopah in the back ground (how appopriate)

Rockwell Falls on the way up to Cobalt Lake

Teton trip with Ma

Me and Ma went to Driggs to hike around the tetons. This is at Grand Targhee ski area at Marys Saddle with Grand Teton in the background

Flowers werent at their peak but they were beautiful. This blue penstomon was cool

Although a weed, the thistle flowers can be beautful - this is taken from the yard of Fran and Bobs house - they let us use their new home while we were there.  Thanks Fran and Bob!

Sunset on the house

Had a few seconds to get a shot of this mangy fox near church at the entrance to Grand Teton National Park

Me and Ma did a hike around Phelps Lake which was owned by Rockefellers to recently.  They used to have a cabin on the shores - some of their cultivated Columbines still remain with really vibrant colors.  Bee snuck into the picture

Another Columbine

On the way home, we stopped at Upper Mesa Falls

Holland Lake Backpack

Me, Jolie and Aidan backpacked into Bob marshall at Upper Holland Lake for July 4th weekend. This is shot of Holland Lake from the trail - the stuff in the water is not an oil slick - it is pollen from the stream that is entering the lake

This is one of the Sapphire Lakes - beautiful lakes above Upper Holland Lake

The beargrass was great this year - Mission Mountains in the background

I had a brilliant idea to cross a creek via this down log - it worked for me but Jolie wasnt as happy - she burnt her leg on the log that was so hot from the sun

Another view of Holland Lake and the Mission Mountains

Everyone is so happy because we are about to heaad down for ice cream and burgers!
