Snow pack still 6' high July 2, 2012

We were just going into the park a little ways....like only to Logan Pass. We packed a picnic lunch and Charley and headed into the park for a relaxing day. We went right to Logan Pass, bypassing all other areas we had already stopped at, hoping to find a parking space at Logan Visitor Center.

 We arrived to a beautiful day with temps in the 60's and hardly any breeze blowing. We went into the Visitor's Center. It is always knowledgable and it was already crowded!! 

Charley's not too sure of this cold white stuff!
She is a Florida Girl, you know!!

We took Charley for a walk on the glacier ice. This area is one in which you are up close to the ice packs. It was a great day to sit on the low stone wall surrounding the parking lot and have lunch. Lots of others were doing exactly that too. 

We looked up at the mountains and saw a Mountain Goat way up high.....you had to have binoculars to see him. 

White spot 1000' above us

Zoomed in with editor

We watched him walk down the mountain from nearly the top to about halfway down. Then he walked very slowly horizonally across the rocks. What a sight to behold during lunch. 

After that the rest of the day seemed ho hum! On our way back to camp we did stop off at a picinic area we wanted to have Charley run in the open field....but there was nowhere for us to sit, all the tables in the area were taken. Oh well, it was a great day.
