East Glacier Lodge from across the golf course. The flowers in front aren't quite in their prime yet.

An outlet lets the overflow leave Lower Two Medicine Lake. They had record snowfall here, more than the west side.

Tour boat crosses Two Medicine Lake, on its way to Upper Two Medicine Lake with a very small load of hikers. It was a little on the cold side.

On our return from East Glacier, we spied a family of bears on the side of the road...a mom and 3 cubs; one of them a cinnamon color.

This is a goat lick, one of the areas where minerals have deposited attracts mountain goats. We only saw one down by a tree....

Avalanche to Logan Creek on GTSR

Going to the sun road is not open beyond the Loop yet, they are still plowing and repairing. But there is a short stretch where no cars are allowed yet, and you can hike or ride your bike. This time we took our bikes, and it was so nice. We stopped several times to take pictures and enjoy the scenery, and have lunch by the creek. No worries about avoiding cars. The sun was out (most of the time), and we really did enjoy our day.

McDonald Creek in the foreground, growing
every day due to the snow up on the mountains.

As we rode along the creek, we spotted a pair of Harlequin ducks. We ran into a park biologist who was tracking something with his antenna...it happened to be these ducks! We showed him our pictures, and he said the female was one he was tracking, and showed us her anttenna. If you look carefully, you can see quite a long wire coming from her neck.
