Moar hiking!

Did a day trip to Glacier yesterday, and hiked the first bit of the Highline trail. We were going to go all the way down, but we ran out of time and decided to turn around at Haystack Butte. There were quite a few people there--more than I would have expected for a Monday morning, but there were still quite a few critters to be seen. Many many scenic vistas





The last time we tried this hike it was so cloudy that we couldn't see anything. Very impressive!



There was not nearly as much snow as last year.



Beargrass! It is all over this year.



This trail has great vegetation.



"The Garden Wall" Walking this section feels like walking in a jungle, there are so many lush plants.









We were going through a pretty obvious glacial bowl thingy. There were rocks.









Going to the Sun Road



This goat was having lunch. Om nom nom.



Surprise marmot!



A lovely alpine meadow.



Annnd, snowfield. This was as far as we went.



On the way back there were sheep.
