Glacier National Park: Many Glacier

Another day we drove to the north-east corner of the park to Many Glacier.  This area is a favorite for hikers, since many trails leave from there. Swiftcurrent Lake is the central point and site of historic Many Glacier Hotel.  This century old Swiss influenced hotel perches on the lake shore and faces a jagged skyline of rocky peaks.  There are fewer trees on this side due to less moisture.

Just as we drove in we got to see a bear!  It was in the bushes feasting on berries, not too far off the main road.
