Note
Day 1 of vacation at Glacier. We did a ~15 mile hike with 3500 ft of elevation gain. This was the adventure hike of the trip for sure. It started with fording a river, which we managed to do in the completely wrong place, so it got kind of deep and fast. Luckily we all made it across ok, but then we had to do a good amount of bushwacking and rough navigation until we stumbled upon the trail, mostly by luck. Even once we were on the trail, it was very overgrown, and we had to ford another, easier river before the main (uphill) part of the hike. So the first mile probably took us an hour and a half, but we made good time for the rest of the hike. The view at the top was really cool though, I just wish it had been a clearer day.
