Glacier National Park

The past weekend my friend Tom from UF and I went up to Glacier National Park (aka- the most gorgeous place on the earth). His friend Kass is a ranger and took us camping in some of the backcountry near the Canadian border. Lake Kintla was on one side of the campsite and we had a creek running behind us. Kass took us on a hike up a mountain...literally. Bushwacking is only fun when you can see in front of you. We didn't make it all the way up but still had some great views of other mountain ranges.





Monday we took it easier and went on a little hike to Avalanche Lake which is just amazing. The snow still hasn't melted so it was all around us and slowly melting into the lake. My family and I went when I was in high school but it was even prettier than I remembered it. Tom and I decided it would be a good idea to kayak. And it would have been had our kayak not almost sunk/tipped, so our kayaking experience on Lake MacDonald was short lived- but still fun.

I made it! This is where we decided the mosquitos/dense vegetation wouldn't allow us to go any further.
