The big family trip for this year was a mini family reunion in Glacier National Park courtesy of my grandparents. They rented us a log mansion with Glacier Raft Co and got us overnight tickets via Amtrak. Big Thanks to the grandparents.
Over the course of the trip, we hiked, rafted, fished, sight saw, drove, chased wildlife, drank local brews, played games, ate great food, played lawn games, trained, ran and had a wonderful time. '
Given the lateness of this post since the trip was almost 3 weeks ago. Big things happening since then. Ill let the photos speak for themselves.

Saw two grizzlies jump across the highway right in front of us. So my dad pulled off the road and chased them down a ways. Here is the momma bear. She didnt take kindly to our presence so after she got on her hind legs, we let them be. Doesnt look like it here. But they were BIG!! |
|
Trick Falls. One waterfall over another one. Only waterfall like this I've ever seen. Pretty amazing. Lauren and my dad climbed around to the top right above the falls. |
|
Just after I saw a black bear in the bushes. Really close and really cool. |
|
My sleeping accommodations for the trip. 32 degree bag was way to warm. Too bad Kerrie took the 40 degree bag. |
|
Coming into Strawberry Lake after running to the top. Altitude kicked my ass. Not a good sign. Megan was only a minute behind me. |
