More from the East Side of Glacier

Behind the Visitors Center at Logan Pass is the trail to Hidden Lake Overlook. I didn't do the trail this time, but walked out a little way to see what I could find.

The area is covered with Glacier Lilies when the show recedes.

These pictures were taken from my first trip up there in the middle of July.

A little past-peak, but still very nice. When I went back the following week, they were all gone.

There are often Bighorn Sheep in the area. I saw this large group of males lounging around. Their reproductive work is done for the year.

And if I haven't been on enough boat tours, I went on the trip on St Mary Lake.

St Mary Lake is another glacial lake, 10 miles long.

We went by Wild Goose Island to get a different view.

Beautiful views at every turn.

Some peaks in the park are carved on 3 sides by glaciers, making a horn.

The view from the boat...

And the view of the far end of the lake.

We saw a glacier, one of the few remaining in the park. They say they will all be gone by 2020, so hurry on up here if you want to see them.

The boat made a stop so we could do a shot walk or a longer ranger-led hike.

I did the short walk (about 20 seconds) to Baring Falls. The longer hike goes to St Mary Falls, but it is farther than walking from the road.

The last day I was in St Mary Campground, my sister Barbara and Ron joined me. We went up to the Many Glacier section and hiked along the two lakes that I had previously done by boat.
