Two Medicine- Glacier National Park, MT

While Going to the Sun Road is the most popular attraction at Glacier National Park, some of the lesser known areas should not be overlooked. We checked out an area called Two Medicine, and as you will see it was well worth it.
Two Medicine lake.
Our first adventure of the day was a short, easy accessible hike to Running Falls. There's a pretty cool Native American story about the falls, but to learn that you're going to half to go there yourself, hehe.
(Where is that water coming from).
The falls headed off to a beautiful river.
Where's Papa, can you find him?
Time for a little rest.
This place is amazingly beautiful!
After a boat ride across the Lake we took a longer hike to Twin Falls.
There are some cool bridges on this hike.
At the base of Twin Falls.
As the name suggests there are two falls. Here's one of them.
Summer hiking in Glacier is walking through the wild flowers.
Who's Upside-down?
How do you do that Papa?
Our boat ride back, our very knowledgeable tour guides gave us some great info.
Ahhh, so relaxing to be three months.
With the sun not setting until after 10pm we get to do a lot of things in one day.
For the 3rd hike of the day,
we went to Appistoki Falls.
Mama says I've become quite the hiker.
What a great day!!

Lewis & Clark National Forest, Montana

Getting from one National Park to the other required a bit of driving, but Papa always makes the most of that.
We find fun back roads, to test out the strength of the car. (Go Expo Go!),
and other cool places to explore.
Between Yellowstone and Glacier Nation Parks, we found the Montana State Park in the Lewis & Clark National Forest.
It was a beautiful green, forested rolling hills,
with cool rock formaions,
an adventerous hike,
to a cool waterfall.
Papa found a precarious perch, and stayed nice and relaxed.
AK threw some rocks into the water.
While I got a nap!
It's always fun to find new waterfalls.
AK, what are you plotting?
