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. |

A solitary peak above Josephine Lake. | A colorful mountainside rises above Swiftcurrent Lake. | A peak across Swiftcurrent Lake. |

A number of trees in the area grew similar to this. If we weren't so averse to ranger-led hikes, maybe we would have found out why. | Redrock Falls looking eastward. | Redrock Falls looking southward. |

These two deer blocked our journey home for over five minutes as we couldn't scare them from the path. |
