Glacier National Park

Last summer, I saw the glaciers at Glacier National Park, but scientists predict that they will be melted by 2030.

Today, we got to Glacier National Park.  It is beautiful. On the first day, we went on a very pretty walk in the rainforest on the Trail of the Cedars.

On the next day, we went on the Mary Falls Trail.  On the way, we picked raspberries!  Driving home, we saw a Bighorn Sheep by the side of the road.

The next day, I went on a death march at Logan's Pass!  I saw a ground squirrel, 2 marmots, and a mommy and baby mountain goats.  The view was pretty (top photo.)

Today we went to the west side of the park.  When we got there, we went on a boat trip to an island.  There, we went on a hike through raspberries.

Then we went on another boat to the other side where we took a 2 mile hike.  If you want any details, read Kayla's blog.
