Here's some pics from our hike up to Grinnell Glacier. One of Glacier's more popular hikes starting from Many Glacier.... and for good reason, as you'll see in the pics. For this hike, you have the option to hop on a boat across Swiftcurrent and Josephine lakes to cut out 3 miles of hiking, making it a reasonable 7 mile round trip hike up to the glacier. The hiking is beautiful, the wildlife a plenty, and the glacier is other worldly.

| See why they call it swiftcurrent? |
 |
| This guy didn't want us to get off the boat... kept on running around making "moosy" noises... |
 |
