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.

Running Eagle Falls, Glacier National Park

July     2013

We have stopped our drive along Two Medicine Road at the Running Eagle Falls area. We are going to be stunned by the uniqueness and beautfy.

The falls are about .3 (one way) of a mile walk/hike from the parking area, it is considered an easy walk, as the elevation gain is only about 15 feet or so.  

The trail starts out like this:

It is a handicap accessible trail.  That said, there is this little foot bridge, which I am going say, is not handicap accessible.  At least, I am not sure I would consider it wheel chair accessible.  Man is over there waiting for me.  

I am, as always lagging behind, taking photos:

The crystal clear water, gorgeous:

And, here are the falls:

I took many photos, ya, I did!  Don't giggle so hard, you know I did!

Looking with the zoom, you can see that the water comes out from in between and under the rock ledge above.  Not sure we have ever seen a waterfall that does not flow over the TOP of the rocks.

No words, just beauty.

And, yes, I found flowers:

One last look at this unusual and beautiful water fall, then, we are off to the next adventure of the afternoon.
