Our luxurious cabin for 3 nights in Glacier. We expected to sleep on wooden planks in a cold cabin, and were pleasantly surprised by electricity, running water, and a full bed.A small creek crossing started our 9 mile hike.Kacey is testing the water in Swifturrent Lake. The temperature was about 50 degrees.
