We stuck to the west side of the park today. The east side still has a few closed trails, but honestly, I didn’t want to drive the extra hour to get to the east side because that meant a morning alarm. I’m holding strong to no alarms until I go back to work. Lucky for us, the west side still had places and trails for us to explore. Case in point.
We hiked a much more manageable five mile trail through a forest and next to McDonald Creek. The ground was packed dirt and my knees thanked me. My toes think new hiking shoes are a future purchase.
After our hike, we drove to West Glacier to connect with our guide for a float trip down the Flathead River. I found my rocks.
Our guide said that the river would be super busy. It’s 85 degrees, summer, and a Saturday. This was our view for most of the float.
We then returned to Apgar Village where I got one more taste of huckleberry ice cream.
We made it back to Whitefish for dinner, World Cup games, and a huckleberry pastry.
We have a very early morning to get back to the airport. Wes is already planning a return trip for a backwoods camping trip. What a great weekend trip!
