Glacier: Grinnell Glacier Hike

Went on a ranger-led hike with a few other folks, because it's not safe to hike alone in Grizzly Bear country!


Glacier: Grinnell Glacier Hike

That's Grinnell Lake. Beautiful lake near Grinnell Glacier at the end of the hike.

There were from what I can recall 5 of us and the ranger for a total of 6 on our hike. Two couples (one married and one boyfriend/girlfriend), me, and the ranger. There was an Asian couple speaking another language (not sure which one), as you can tell from some of the videos.

Many Grinnell Lake views in these videos. Was a stunning lake and a great hike.


Glacier: Grinnell Glacier Hike

Lots of water on the lens, and from what I can recall it was just difficult to clean it or keep it dry. Clean it off, raindrops meet it again.

Returning, there's a bear. What type? Not sure.


Glacier: Grinnell Glacier Hike

Black bear? Brown bear? Can't say for sure. Definitely a bear!


Glacier: Swiftcurrent

C6 cabin at Swiftcurrent Motor Inn.

I believe I was eating at the Swiftcurrent Motor Inn, the restaurant was "The Italian Garden." And now it's called Nell's?

Swiftcurrent Lake. The other nearby lakes are Lake Sherburne (more east) and Lake Josephine (more southwest).

Walking the shore (and the dock) of Swiftcurrent Lake. I prefer Lake McDonald, but this is pretty close to paradise, too. And the Hotel is stunning.
