St. Mary's Glacier Hike!

     We wanted to go on a fun new hike, and we've been wanting to check out St. Mary's Glacier, but figured we should wait until it got warmer so it wasn't a slip-n-slide instead of a hike. The trail is about 3/4 of a mile... and it isn't just an easy walking trail. This is an uphill, rock filled trail. Half way up was all dirt with some snow along the sides of the trail... but then suddenly the whole trail was snow! We still made our way up... and the view was beautiful! We had a ton of fun going up... but once we got up there Wyatt was suddenly very cold, very tired, and his head was super hot! Nothing like a fever showing up in the middle of your fun. We ended up giving him a piggyback ride down the trail, and headed home to rest, and a few days later he was fine. Definitely a lot of fun while we were there though! We all even went down a "snow slide" that we found along the trail. 3 of us only went once... but Wade ended up going 6 or 7 times he was having so much fun. :-) Here are some pictures of course. The pictures at the beginning show the trail when we started and the snow slide. The last pictures show the buffalo that we saw on the way to the trail! We've been looking for those buffalo on that road for over a year now!
