A Short Hike to Twin Falls, Two Medicine, Glacier National Park.

AUGUST 2013

(Someday I have hopes of catching up on so much, even the blog. )

After we rode the boat Sinopah cross Two Medicine Lake, we were off on a short hike.  We had a nice guide and she pointed out flora and fauna items of interest as we hiked.  Our views along the way:


I cannot seem to get enough shots of mountains and water:


Back to that hike:


AHHHH, more mountain, this time from land:


Our first glimpse of one of the falls:


This photo was taken right off the camera and the only editing done was for size.  That water was moving very fast and even with the bright light it looks like trick photography.  Nope, just Mother Nature ripping along.


Both falls, Twin Falls:


After all our fellow hikers had their fill of climbing around the hillside, we turned to head back.  This may be Two Medicine Creek, I could not get Google maps in conjunction with Sony GPS function to give up the name. There was a lake upstream from the falls, named, No Name Lake??  So, I'm good with Two Medicine Creek, you too?? 


I am always drawn to fungus:


Back on the lake, we find some other "boaters" enjoying the day.


It was a glorious day.  We have one more day to spend in the area before it is time to head east back to Michigan.  We will take 14 days to get from Glacier to our home in SE Michigan, making a few more stops to see something new, and a few to see some old favorites.

Heading to Two Medicine, Glacier National Park:: The Trip, The Encore'

Finally we have some blue skies again.  We are going for another short boat ride and a guided hike, the clouds here will lift later, but, what a nice way to start the day.


We make a few stops along the way for photos and history lessons.  Here at Maria's Pass we see this obelisk and markers.


I particularly love the quote by Theodore Roosevelt.


Near East Glacier Park Village I stop for this photo op, I am a fan of sculpture such as this:


As we turn to go towards the Two Medicine area we see horse back riders and their dogs, enjoying the day:


We stop at the edge of Two Medicine Lake, pretty little place:


Another view, SIGHHH:


One more view:


We make a short stop at the Two Medicine General Store where we have a snack and visit with this creature, a columbian ground squirrel.



Time for our boat ride, that is the store.


Yes, there is at least one water fall:


The mountains loom above, in all their grandeur.


Off the boat, we are ready to hike.  I'll bring you that next time:
