We hiked one of the only trails open in West Glacier today. All the rest are closed due to the fires up here. We haven’t left the smoke behind yet! It was beautiful in spite of the haze over everything.
Lake McDonald’s beauty rivals that of Lake of the Woods – only in its water right now. The water is so clear, you can see all the way to its multi-colored pebbled floor, even at great depths. If you look at a photo of Lake McDonald here, you can see what this picture is missing due to the smoke! (photo by Chicory)
