Day 10 - A lake of icebergs

I've been wanting to go hiking in Glacier National Park since the first time I got here and so today I took up the challenge.  The name of the trail I hiked today was "Lake of Icebergs"  and it did not disappoint.  It was a strenuous 5.2 miles up to the lake and a nice 5.2 miles back down. The BEAUTIFUL wildflowers caught me off guard.  With about 2 miles left on the way back I heard the vicious and unmistakable ROAR of a Grizzly bear followed shortly thereafter by a couple who were running (big mistake) full speed back up the hill towards me! I mean they were freaking out and were panicked!!  I inched forward and eventually saw that a mother and her cub had crossed the hiking path and we're heading down to the lake.  Unfortunately by the time I thought to take a picture they were gone.  Nice roar though!!
I've seen a lot of bears this trip,  close to half a dozen.  I always try to leave them alone because it seems they are always being hounded by the paperazzi of tourists like me.  I do wish I had a picture of one of them though.
