Glacier Park 2012 - blog 3

Tuesday, June 12

After our flopped adventure on Monday, we headed out for hiking bright and early on Tuesday. Much by mistake, we found a wonderful trail on a dead-end road near our cabin. The trailhead is on the Inside North Fork Road, shortly after Fish Creek. The Rocky Point Trail and the Rocky Point Nature Trail are two very interesting (and short) hikes through an area of the park that was burned in the Roberts Fire in 2003.

Rocky Point has a great rocky beach with the most interesting colored stones.

Rocky Point provided a great seat for Corey and his new hiking stick widdling project.

Seeing the transformation after a fire was fascinating. This photo shows the dense new growth under the burned trees.

Kya likes hikes.

Corey and his mom had a action-packed afternoon of white water rafting down the Flathead River.

They wore full wetsuits with rain jackets! Burr, that water looks cold!

While they were rafting, Kya and I met up with my Grandma Katy for a great afternoon chat and an ice cream treat in West Glacier.
