Logan Pass

Rachael opted for a day at the campsite while Ryan and I tried to do more hiking.  We drove to St. Mary and got on a free shuttle to Logan Pass.  The shuttle was packed with people and so was the parking lot.  I think it is removing quite a bit of traffic from the road, which is excellent.  At the top, the parking lot was teeming with people and three cars were driving in circles looking for a spot.  Ryan and I headed toward the garden wall and walked along the cliff for a while.  We saw many mountain goats in a similar spot to where Marie and I had seen them a year before.  

We then went back and decided to just do the hidden lake overlook.  It is a boardwalk trail, but some of it was still under snow.  We moved quickly to the overlook and ate lunch there, and then ran the whole way back with skiing/skating through the snow patches.  We had people looking at us like we were junior high boys, but it was fun.  We then went back to camp.  

We had spaghetti o's and Easy Mac.  It was not the best choice, but we all felt that it will help us appreciate "real" food when we got out of the park the next day.  We burned the end of our wood and ate the last smores and hot dogs.
