Last day! So sad!
Drove to Logan Pass and hiked the Highline trail to Granite Park Chalet and back down to The Loop trailhead. It was nice not to have to hike with heavy backpacks! We saw tons of mountain goats, one almost killed Betsy, and lots of marmots. Blue skies when we left... we were not following our own advice and didn't carry warm clothes or rain gear... and surely enough, a huge thunderstorm developed right above us as we were hiking down. Amazing how fast it happened... shoud've learned from the day before, right? NOT! Lightning was falling so close, it was scary! Rain and hail... Finally we got to the shuttle stop and took it back to the car in Logan Pass. Drove to Lake McDonald and sat at the shore to write some postcards, then drove back to Kalispell where we stayed the night again at Betsy's cousin's place. Perfect end to a great journey! |
