West Glacier

We went to another park ranger presentation last night - this one about how trees, plants and animals survive the brutal winters here. Glad I don't  have to! She said they did a recent survey to determine the average length of stay in Glacier National Park and asked the audience to estimate. Roger and I said "3-4 days." What would you guess? The answer really surprised everyone - 3 hours!!! We plan to spend 6 days and haven't seen half of it!
We drove Hwy 2 from east to west Glacier this morning. Followed the Flathead River most of the way. More beautiful scenery!
We are staying at Apgar Village National Park on Lake MacDonald - a huge glacier lake. Back to Internet service but on and off cell phones and no TV - too many trees! A bigger campground but not as pretty as Two Medicine. We need a connection to the world so Roger can make plans to get our jacks fixed!
We took the "Trail of the Cedars" hike this afternoon and then stopped at many scenic look outs along the drive back home - mostly waterfalls along the Avalanche River, which eventually drains into Lake MacDonald. The water is crystal clear and a lovely shade of blue/green.
