We arrived at the St. Mary Campground in Glacier National Park late in the afternoon, with just enough time to explore the campground and get a feel for the surrounding area. The next morning, we set out early to hike the 11.2-mile Siyeh Pass Loop. The trail was bursting with wildflowers, and we were lucky enough to spot several snowshoe hares along the way.
Although the view from the pass was completely fogged in, making it hard to see anything beyond the mist, we took a break there to rest and enjoy some snacks. As we descended, the clouds began to lift, revealing stunning waterfalls and eventually the blue of St. Mary Lake below. We finished the hike at Sunrift Gorge, feeling tired but accomplished.
The following day was a total washout with nonstop rain, so we made the most of it by driving to Kalispell. We did laundry, picked up some rain gear, and ended the day by watching the new F1 movie.

Beautiful! I think the colorful wildflowers of Glacier are the best I’ve seen in the US.
