The Ferguson Six Pack: Vacation in Glacier National Park

It has been a very long time since we took a family vacation and so we decided (a very last minute decision) to go to Glacier National Park.

After a friend's suggestion (Thanks Danette), the first day we decided to camp at Many Glacier. We arrived there on a very late Monday night.

Then Tuesday morning we got up and started out on a one and a half mile hike to Red Rock Falls. It was beautiful weather, not to hot and not to cold.

Taking in the view of the lake that Red Rock Falls travels into.

Shortly on our hike back to our campsite, there were a few gentleman with spotting scopes set up and they were looking across the valley at the other mountain. So we stopped and discovered they were watching a hand full of grizzly bears (in different areas). They were kind enough to let us look through their scopes. Unfortunately we were unable to take any pictures cause of the distance. However, I would rather see a grizzly from that distance! LOL! It looked like there was a momma and her two cubs, but the cubs weren't little anymore. Then we saw a few more scattered in different places.

Further on our journey back from Red Rock Falls, other on-coming hikers were telling us that there was a family of moose down at the Fishtail Lake. Just a little walk off of the trail from Red Rock Falls, not far from our campsite. It was really cool to see all of them. It seemed like he was showing off for all of the visitors.

This picture isn't the best, but there is a elk right in the middle. We thought it might be a bear, but after looking closer at the picture closer on the computer, we discovered that it was an elk.

So after lunch and just some down time we went to explore the Many Glacier Lodging. There is a lake for all to view from the lodge. It was very interesting to walk around and see the many pictures of the history in just this area.

As you drive up to the Many Glacier Lodge you cross a bridge and this is the view as you cross, on one side.

And this is the falls from the picture above. I love seeing God creation.

Right after taking the picture above we drove just a few seconds down the street and spotted a black bear. I tried zooming in as much as I could and this is the best that I could do.
