Exploration day in Glacier National Park. Amazing! That is the word to describe this park. Book your trip now if you haven’t been there yet. We decided to take the Going-To-The-Sun Road. We pulled off at a spot by Lake McDonald and had a great time skipping stones and taking pictures by this beautiful glacial lake with barely any other people around. Then we headed up to Logan Pass and took the Hidden Lake Trail to the Outlook-about 1.5 miles at a steady climbing path. It was definitely worth the hike because the scenery was beautiful every step of the way and we got to see mountain goats, waterfalls, and many different types of wildflowers.
Lake MacDonald is 500 feet deep. It is so clear that I bet you could almost see all the way to the bottom in the deepest part! 
The rocks are so cool at this beach. So many different colors and textures. Amy couldn’t stop taking pictures of them because the water was so clear. 
Skipping rocks took many different strategies. This was an overhand attempt. 
Jeff skipped a stone that skipped over 20 times! 
Carson wanted to give his hands the “spa treatment”. Glacial water is cold! 
My boys! They had so much fun skipping stones. 
Beach/mountain selfie! 
We made another pull off at a rapids. The water was blue and it was such a cool sound. Reminded us of the Boundary Waters. Except all the people that ignored the “stay on the path” signs and kept getting in the way of my pictures, grr. 
Amazing scenery at every turn! 
A cool tunnel with some lookouts. No parking available so we just keep driving. 
This was the only barrier between us and the possibility of falling off the side of the mountain. Amy leaned in towards the center of the truck to “help” keep it on the road. The boys thought that was hilarious! 
Epic views 
This bridge did a great job of blending in to the natural rocks. 
Snow! At the end of July. 
The wildflowers are gorgeous! 
Glaciers! No people in this photo, but if we would have been 90 degrees in either direction, you would see a never ending line of people on this trail. So many people. There are signs everywhere to stay on the path though, so that helps keep the nature undisturbed. 
Columbia’s ground squirrel. There were tons of them around the Logan Pass Visitor Center. Cute! 
I love these red flowers! 
Mountain Goats were not paying attention to us, but they did get really close to us as they were grazing.
