Well we celebrated Canada Day so today we celebrated the US holiday. We invited Jane and Albert to go on a hike with us. I ran into my friend Jeannette the other day and she told us about a hike she had just been on and it sounded good so we decided to go. It was in the US just over the border in St. Mary's. We turned off the road that goes to Logan Pass, if that helps some of you. This was basically where we started out and walked along the lake trail to the end and then started to see the real beauty. It was so quite and peaceful as we walked along. And it wasn't really a hard or steep trail, but just enough ups and downs that you knew you were hiking. We took our time and just enjoyed it.
This was the first water falls we came to - Baring Falls. What a pretty little falls.
Of course we all had to have our picture taken.
The second falls we came to was St. Mary's Falls. Man that water just came pounding over the edge. It swirled around under the bridge we crossed and out the other side. If you fell in that you wouldn't have a chance. You could just feel the cool coming off it. Since I like it a bit cool I thought it was great.
As we kept on going to get to our final destination we passed several places where the water tumbled along. It was so beautiful. Jane and I took lots of
opportunities to view the scenery and water. In other words we rested every so often!
Our final destination. What an
exhilerating feeling. When I stood in that spot I could have stayed there for a long time. It was a warm day and the cool mist from the falls felt wonderful.
This was just down below where the other picture was taken. This falls was named Virginia Falls and it was well worth the hike. Absolutely
Georgeous! Notice all the mist that comes from it.
When we got back to the road. I took this one. The white in about the middle picture by the pine tree is where we were. That is the falls. The hike was 3.1 miles in and then of course we had to come out. Happy Fourth of July!
And this says it all. We were ready to hit the road for home! Tired, a bit hungry, but what a great day we had!
