Glacier park 9-5

Today we returned to Glacier Park even with the holiday crowd. The first stop was for gas from the Bear.

We drove in to Avalanche Creek and "The Trail of the Cedars".

Lake McDonald and all the rivers are a light green color. The color is a result on the silt created by the glaciers.
McDonald Lake has a depth of 472 feet.
