Yesterday my buddy E and I found the East Glacier Loop trail. We climbed steps and rocky switchbacks, saw incredible waterfalls and views. Unfortunetly we were limited on time and couldn't do the whole trail. So we made plans to meet again today. In the meantime I had figured out there was a "hard" way and "easy" way to do the loop, we had embarked on the "hard" or so I thought. Anyway today despite the temps in the 40's and the constant rain we started out to find the "easy" way. We walked and walked and hit several dead ends. After about an hour we came upon houses....not the right direction. Obviously we had missed our intended trail. All was not lost though we found some very interesting sites. One was a bunch of scrap metal and rusted cans. We found a deserted tent and truck cab in a small meadow. And of course the random waterfalls, pools and gigantic boulders. After about 2 hours we finally did find our intended trail however wet, tired and under a time crunch to pick up preschoolers we were unable to climb. I am attaching some pics from the first day where we made it part way around. I am hoping to add an entry later this week with pics from the entire hike, hoping we are able to do it Friday. Although I must admit the "warning confirmed sightings of brown bear with cubs at the top of Glacier Loop Trail" sign has me thinking twice...
