We lodged at a cabin @ West Glacier. The park boasts a scenic highway called Going-to-the-Sun highway. In the following days, we'll be traveling back and forth on this highway and developing a sentiment to it. On the first day, we chose to hike the Avalanche Creek trial. At the end of the trail, we were welcomed a lake joined by several, not one, water falls. It was not the best time of the day for photographing, but we were extremely entertained by a family of bold chipmunks, who were glad to take our donation of grapes and tamatoes and laterly attempted to steal (Pengtao has quite a few vivid shot of them) . Later we visited St. Mary lake, out of the east entrance of the park.
