暫定行程

六月的冰川國家公園,應該是一望無際的草原和藍天 洗澡不是問題, $1.75 就可以解決了 吃飯更不是問題, 餐廳, campstore 也不少 permit 我已經申請了

騎馬還有點貴呢!全天$160. 半天$107. 所以, 我還在掙扎, 下面的link 是價目表 http://www.swanmountainoutfitters.com/glacier/?page=trail-ride 目前的行程只是暫定, 我喜歡隨遇而安 到時候若是走不動, 躺在營地看藍天,數大白羊也很逍遙 再說, 那裏有很多博物館和 nature trails 光研究那些地質, 歷史, 也夠忙的囉 旅館也很貴, 所以, 我打算揹著帳篷, 隨興隨緣

Day 1 (6/29/2011): Arrive Great Fall, Montana •My flight leaving SFO at 5:34 p.m., arriveing GTF at 11:56 p.m. •Meeting either 12 p.m. at San Francisco or 6/30 12 a.m. at Great Fall International airport •Rent a big van for 8-10 people •Great Falls, Montana, is a historic city with the flavor of the Old West, only 2 hours and 12 minutes from Glacier National Park Day 2 & 3 & 4 (6/30 – 7/2): Glacier National Park(east entrance,Two Medicine) Shopping the food, propane and bear spray Two Medicine Valley, is an area rich in Native American history. Because Glacier’s showy scenery comes without the serious oxygen deprivation that plagues hikers in higher parks, you can top three passes in a hike without killing yourself. The two-day, 19-mile Dawson Pass loop features two scenic passes (Dawson Pass & Pitamakin Pass) and a stretch of alpine trail that’s outstanding even by Glacier’s standards. Start today at Two Medicine Campground and plan to camp at Upper Two Medicine Lake or No Name Lake. A short, steep climb to Dawson Pass puts you at the start of one of the finest sky walks anywhere. For three miles between Dawson Pass and Mount Morgan, the trail follows a narrow ridge. “Nothing but peak upon peak—you’re on top of the world,” says Dick Honrath, who has spent 25 summers hiking every trail in the park. The homestretch back to Two Medicine follows the Continental Divide Trail. We will keep our eyes peeled for the spectacular array of wildlife that is frequently seen here. Moose, elk, and deer graze on tall green grasses and wildflowers in sunny meadows, while grizzlies, black bears, coyotes, wolves, and mountain lions seek refuge from the summer heat in shady aspen groves. We may also spot majestic bald eagles. Day 5 (7/3) : Siyeh Pass & Sunrift Gorge Hit the Going-to-the-Sun Road by 7 a.m., park at Siyeh Bend. There, take off on an 11-mile day hike through Preston Park’s blooming meadows. The rocky, windblown pass into Sunrift Gorge is one of the highest sections of trail in the park. Down in the gorge, waterfalls spill from Sexton Glacier, high on Matahpi Peak. Finish by walking one mile along Saint Mary Lake to the shuttle-bus stop at Sun Point for a lift back to our car. Pop your tent at Rising Sun Campground.
