Canadian Glacier NP

Well, two beautiful days in a row. Our hike today was to Great glacier (aka the illecillewaet glacier) around Rogers pass in Gnp Canada. Unfortunately, the glacier has receded so that you can’t actually view it from the end of the trail but the panoramic views were amazing. The trail was full of wildflowers and ruins of an old hotel. (You had me at ruins). The hotel (glacier house) was torn down after a double avalanche killed 58 people on the train pass and the train was re-routed through a tunnel.

Dworshak to Pierce lake, Idaho to BC

Pierce Lake was out of the way, but totally with it. We climbed out of the Dworshak pit of dispair (the curvy step road) without incident. We stopped in Moscow, Idaho and had breakfast and shopped at their downtown market for a couple of girl souvenirs and fresh bread and stinky cheese. We even made it down the cussing dirt road that Google took us on… We still got to piece lake before late lunch. The lake was beautiful, like lake Jocassi beautiful. Clear and full of beach goers. The campground was shady and updated. They also had a dog beach. We have made it to Canada and have the Rockies in our view.
