Columbia Falls/Glacier Park - July 2012

Hard to believe, but it's already time for our annual camping trip with Josh and Jazzmyn!  We all piled into the car and headed north to Columbia Falls.  We explored Hungry Horse dam, and then found a neat camping spot near the Hungry Horse Reservoir.  We put up our tents as fast as we could, and then headed into Columbia Falls for an afternoon at the Water Park.  We got in a few good hours on the slides, and then a thunderstorm forced them to close down early - oh well, we had so much fun, and decided to stop for Huckleberry ice cream to mask our disappointment!

At our campsite - drying out from all the rain!

 The next morning we woke up and headed into Glacier National Park.  We checked four more waterfalls off from our book!  This first one was a hike through the woods to see McDonald Falls.  We couldn't get over the beautiful turquoise water from the glacial silt.  So pretty!

We stopped for another hike after we crossed Logan Pass - this time the trail took us along St. Mary's Lake to Baring and St. Mary Falls.

So beautiful!

I can't believe it's been two years since our last trip to Glacier - our honeymoon!  So amazing that we're only a few hours away from this gorgeous scenery, and so amazing to have each other to share it with!
