Beautiful day yesterday! A little brisk in the morning but the sun was shinning. My friend E and I hiked around the glacier. We actually got right up next to the falls. It was quite impressive. I was surprised at how small the glacier looked from that angle. We then headed over to the ecology trail. As we were crossing the street to check out another trail we spotted mamma bear and her cubs racing across the parking lot! They managed to get themselves onto the protected walkway for tourists. We waiting with a few other locals to see where they would head. Somehow they crawled over the railing and dashed through the woods. We caught a second glimpse of them as they ran under the salmon spawning viewing platform. It was very cool. The babies have gotten so much bigger than earlier in the summer. Today we hope to hit the trail we were headed for before being distracted by the bears.
In the afternoon the kids enjoyed riding their bikes. I am guessing the days they will be able to do this are quite numbered. Little A is getting to be quite brave and good on his.
I will post pics of our walk soon.
