St. Mary's Glacier with Courtney

One of my very best friends, Courtney, stopped by for a very quick trip on her way back to Tampa from San Fransisco. It was a short 36 hour trip but it was so great to spend a day with her! We decided a semi-challenging hike was the activity of the day and headed up to St. Mary's Glacier.

made it to the lake (the glacier is across the lake)

Court decided we should challenge ourselves a little more and climb up the side of the mountain (our route went basically up the middle of this photo - notice how tiny the pine trees are at the top - this mountain face is steep).

we came back down the other side so Courtney could see the glacier

a really fun day with an awesome friend!
