Day 5 August 9th: Many Glacier, Many Glacier Boat Ride – Red Bus Evening Glacier Tour







For breakfast we returned to the Ptarmigan and had the buffet. Jimmy wouldn't be jumping up and down, but it was OK.


The boat dock was our destination for the Chief Two Guns trip across Swiftcurrent Lake, a steep 400-yard walk to the Morning Eagle and a cruise across Lake Josephine. We were again impressed by the knowledge of the crew. I know it is a script all these kids memorized, but the memorized it well. The pictures tell the story better than I could, but I will add an anecdote. She Who Must Be Obeyed is still recovering from some very nasty heel surgery, and her mobility is impaired by her walking cast. The woman at the car rental told her she would never make the hike over the hill between Swiftcurrent and Josephine. We agreed we would try it and only go as far as we could. We were the last one of the group to make it, but we made it. The two rides were very pleasant and very much enjoyed

The Boot






We took the afternoon to just chill and look at the view from the veranda waiting to catch the Red Bus Evening Glacier Tour. It left the MG and picked up folks along 89 down to Lake Mary where it heads to Logan Pass. One would be remiss if they failed to take a Red Bus tour while they were in the park. Our driver Keith had done a tremendous job memorizing the script. The time flew by and gave me the confidence to tackle the drive in two days.
