We drove to Kalispell from Missoula yesterday. Tomorrow we begin the BAC Canadian Rockies ride. Today, on our "rest day", we drove up into the park and hiked to Avalanche Lake. It was a scenic out and back four mile walk to a lovely lake in a glacial cirque. Lots of snowfields still in the mountains, but no glaciers. The Ranger told us that the Sperry Glacier is behind and to the right of the waterfall in the picture. They are predicting that all the galciers will be gone by 2020. We diligently did as we were told and bought our can of bear spray. The only wildlife we encountered were very bold Golden Mantled Ground Squirrels. They looked like chipmunks to me.
