Glacier Trip
September 2022
3 day - 25 miles - 4 lakes
Leaving Lake McDonald trailhead is straight up over Howe Ridge. All altitude gain is done in 2 miles.
at Lake McDonald
Beautiful valley
Trout Lake at sunset. We rode another 4 miles in the dark. No moon. Grizzly country. It is a good thing horses can see in the dark.
We arrived at our campsite in total darkness. It was really nice to have a bear pole, level tent site, hitching rails and a pit toilet :)
Nice campground
Camas Lake is up there.
Looking down the valley toward the ridge we crossed over the day before.
My outfitter.
This tree picked a crazy place to grow.
We didn't get into sunlight until we rode way up there.
Wooly worm.
to Camas Lake
There is an elk across the lake. There is a video here.
A bear killed and ate a woman down there at the end of the lake
we stopped for lunch...
It takes awhile for the sun to reach the valley floor. There is a video here.
