Backpacking in Glacier

A few weeks ago I went hiking in Glacier Nat'l Park with Dave Oldham, a friend and fellow Air Force doc. We did a 15 mile hike from Logan pass to Many Glacier campground. During the hike we traversed the Garden Wall which was incredible and crossed over to the Granite Park Chalet. We then dropped over Swiftcurrent pass and dropped down into the Many Glacier valley passing a number of beautiful lakes. As always, it was a lot of fun, with numerous bear citings and some great huckleberry patches along the way.

Mmmmmm Huckleberries. People out here don't even know what they are. They are missing out! Once again, making me jealous with your fun outdoor adventures.
