Montana was Amazing

So, a few weeks ago I told you about the retreat I held in Montana at Judy's Training Center.....and here are some of the highlights from our day at Glacier National Park. It was a gorgeous day, cool and sunny, and while the Road to the Sun was closed, we still had a great time. I really must get back there in mid-summer to see the weeping walls, and the glaciers themselves, but that will have to be a next trip....

Here are some pics from our adventures....

I was driving, so I took a limited number of pictures to ensure the safety of my passengers.....We started at Lake McDonald, driving along the south side of the lake to the Lodge, and getting a good view of the convertible topped vehicles that they use to ferry park goers between various places....

This little waterfall is right behind the Lodge between the main lodge and the cabins, it was brimming with fast moving and almost freezing water.....the lake itself still had large expanses of floating ice, so that water was near freezing. On the lake front itself I needed my jacket and to stay out of the occasional spray!

This pic is from that same little falls but on the opposite side of the road, before it diverts under the road....the shade here was freezing, and I only stayed long enough to get a quick pic and get out!

After we left Lake McDonald and the Lodge we headed up toward Avalanche Trail head, and stopped several times to get pics of various falls along the Big Fork River which feeds into the lake. There were areas of steep rapids and white water, and areas that were more likely the lazy rivers at the amusement parks....

Once we got to Avalanche we turned around and headed to Polebridge for some sweet Huckleberry treats. Overall, it was a great day in the park......
