Don’t Let The Wildlife Get Your Goat
May 23rd, 2009
The wild creatures in Glacier are in the majority. We’ve seen all sorts of animals. It’s been great. And we haven’t had to use our bear spray yet.
Yesterday we did see a couple bears. A mother black bear and her cub were right beside the road when we drove slowly by in the Many Glacier area. They were about 10 feet from the truck. We didn’t stop or take any photos because momma bear did not look like she was happy to see us.
We’ve also seen elk and, of course, more
deer. _G_ saw a moose, but Brooke and I missed it in the woods as we drove by. Today we saw a bald eagle fly low right over the truck as we were driving.
We had seen mountain goats high up on the cliffs above Avalanche Lake on our first day here, but yesterday we managed to get a lot closer look at a whole herd of them, as you can see here. What a great place this is.
We leave in the morning and start the drive, first to Dave Swanson’s place, then on back home 
after our visit with him. But Glacier is a place I’ll want to return to. It’s beautiful and wild and wonderful. And uncrowded compared to places like Yellowstone.
