The trek up to Glacier National Park:     Lunch stop is at Flathead Lake, 50 miles long, every single one of them gorgeous.  Half the group jumped in the lake and the other half thought 50 degrees too cold. Weird. Lunch hit the spot- grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato and avocado.  A deli masterpiece despite its simplicity.  The only other stop was for Frisbee, gymnastics and yoga in a park.  Oh yeah, and the stop at Huckland, my fave.  They are a Montana delicacy, and at this place you can get any and everything Huckleberry:  jam, gummy bears, milk shakes, coffee, t shirts, syrup.  And the best part is the cutouts of celebrities on the side of the building like Luke Skywalker and Hannah Montana, who has a word bubble claiming that all the celebrities shop there, and so should you.

Glacier National Park is gorgeous.  It was formed by glaciers.  I saw a glacier there.  In 1850 there were 150 glaciers, now there are only 26 glaciers.  In 2030 there will be no glaciers.  See them before it’s too late!  The hike we did was through a cedar forest, which smelled amazing and the reward was great.  The ending point was Avalanche Lake- a mirror lake with waterfalls running down the side of the snow-capped mountain.
