along the Hidden Lake Trail

Glacier National Park near Logan Pass--September 2008

See yesterday's post for a view of the lake and some links.

Some of the Parks' Rangers favorite questions (taken from Ken Burns' documentary):
What time do the moose come out for photographs?
How much does this cave weigh?
How much of this cave is underground?
How many miles of this cave are undiscovered?
Why did the Indians build their homes so close to the road?

Read the comments below for more fun!!!

  3. BeadedTail--LOL!
    Sometimes, I have wondered when seeing say one animal by itself, if the animals were not taking turns posing for the tourists.
    Once, I was in Yellowstone Park and there was a deer, looking for a handout, I suppose. Only problem was, she was standing next to a sign that said "Do not feed the deer."

  5. The deer must not have read the sign! You're probably right though that the animals do take shifts when dealing with tourists!

  6. Hi there, Thanks for visiting my blog. I am enjoying yours. I hope and pray that one day I will get to Glacier. It's so gorgeous!!!!

    Yes, I celebrate my mother and father's lives. I was born when Mom was 42 and Dad was 53. Daddy died in 1969 and Mom lived til 1991. I have one brother still alive, but he is not well. He's 20 yrs. older than me --and is 86 now. Life is full of sad and happy times. I try to live joyfully most of the time.

    Hugs,
    Betsy

  8. Gorgeous photo! And those questions are great - but sadly, we have heard similar questions on park tours (I think it must take a lot of patience to be a park ranger!)

  9. Great photo, I love the cliffs against the blue sky.

    I used to have a list of questions Alaska visitors asked either before coming or while visiting.
    What kind of currency do you use?
    Do I need a passport?
    How many igloos are in Anchorage?
    When do you turn on the Northern Lights?
