Morning moving up the Ptarmigan Valley


I'm anxious to get hiking after the 2 hour drive (with photo stops.... Pat will appreciate this) ...so I get parked and head up the hill behind Swiftcurrent Motor Lodge. This is the "everyday" person's hub at Many Glacier.... versus the Many Glacier Lodge which is a bit too rich for the likes of me! This area is prime grizzly habitat and these particular trails to Ptarmigan Falls, lake and tunnel and to Iceberg Lake are often closed to protect both the bears and the people. But they're open today, so off I go.
