Avalance Lake {Glacier National Park}
At the top of Trail of the Cedars is a 2 mile hike to Avalance Lake. It climbs 500 feet in elevation. That was our destination. Getting all 12 of us up there is the story...
It was such a beautiful hike through tall, georgous trees. It started out next to a river of the bluest water you have ever seen. But it just kept going forever. We had no way of knowing how far we had come, or how much further we had to go. We almost turned around twice, but kept trudging, dragging, pulling and carrying Porter, Max, Emma and Annalee up the mountain. The only reward was that we would get to put our feet in a clear mountain lake. Emma slept in the back pack on Matt's back the whole way. Annalee slept in the sling the whole way. Max and Porter held Grandma's had for energy, but they were weary....when we saw this sign, we were so glad...
Some of us really had to go!
