Bri (my most recent roommate from UF) came into town for almost a week so once again I took her to my favorite place on Earth, Glacier National Park. We camped at Two Medicine, luckily with no water logged tents this time. Our first day we hiked up to Dawson Pass. I'm not sure why I thought climbing 2500 ft would be fun, but the views were spectacular and well worth almost dying. At one point some fellow hikers told us it was "right around the corner"...they lied. We saw a black bear on the trail at one point but by the time we got the camera out, he saw us and ran away. Considering how terrified I am of bears (second only to frogs) I composed myself quite well. (it may have helped Bri was between the bear and myself)

Sunset at our campsite.
The next day we hiked to Grizzly Medicine Lake which was not well frequented by other people so it was our own quiet lake. Luckily no grizzlies decided to visit either.
Our last day we drove across the park and stopped at Logan Pass. This time it was not covered in snow (like it was in July with Amber) and we were able to hike to Hidden Lake. We saw lots of animals (pics to come later) and once again the view was amazing.
A view on the Going to the Sun Road. That's an "island" in the middle of Lake Mary.
