Glacier and Pole Bridge

Avalanche Lake in Glacier is well worth the hike. Several water falls cascade off the rock walls and feed into the lake. We hiked in and had lunch at the lake. On the way out, not 30 yards from where we had lunch, I stepped over a grizzly bear print where we joined the main trail around the lake. I might have missed it on the way in ...









There's a little town named Pole Bridge adjacent to the park's west edge on a gravel road darn near into Canada. Not much more than a mercantile (great baked goods!), a 40 kw diesel generator, several log houses and the Northern Lights Saloon. On the last day of summer they host the Pole Bridge Prom. Dresses are provided to ladies that have none. Corsage mandatory.
