2015 Glacier NP Family Trip

Thu Aug 6 - Two <

Fri Aug 7 - Avalanche Gorge and GTTS Road

We arrived at the park to great news: the St Mary fires were under control enough to allow traffic on GTTS road. We all went out to hike Trail of the Cedars for the morning, but ended up splitting into two groups. Dan, Jill, and the girls hiked all the way out to Avalanche lake, while Mom, Dad, and I stayed in the Cedars and only went a little ways up the Avalanche gorge trail. After our hike we returned to Kellie for our picnic and then decided to drive the parts of GTTS road that were closed to us before.
