The Glacier Experience: Grinnell Glacier and Grinnell Lake

Day 4: Grinnell Glacier and Grinnell Lake
 
This is my favorite view in the park. I had it entirely to myself for at least twenty minutes.
 


Lesson learned: Glacier water tastes like melted snow



Sometimes the best moments are the ones you can't capture in a photograph...while I was sitting on the rocks, taking in my favorite view I heard a rumbling behind me. It was an avalanche. I quickly grabbed my camera, but it had stopped by the time I was able to record. A few moments later, I heard the noise again, watched and enjoyed.

It was still early when I arrived at the junction for Grinnell Lake, so I made the turn and logged in a few more flat miles. Thankfully, the lake was much less buggy than it was during my last visit. I actually was able to sit for a few moments and enjoy it.
