We started the day by heading out to Whitefish Mountain ski resort for a trip up the ski lift. It was Kyle's first time on a ski lift and was definitely the…
Excellent views of Flathead Lake and the valley below.
Taking in the view from the ski lodge balcony at the top of the lift.
It was another chilly day, so we headed inside for some hot chocalate.
Next order of events was picking (and eating) wild huckleberries. Definitely a highlight of the trip!
Dad with a handful of huckleberries right off the bush.
Kyle had a blast.
Purple teeth and a cupful of berries.
Heading back down the lift with a great look at Whitefish Lake just as it was starting to rain.
The long and beautiful 17 minute ride down.
Before heading out, we just had to try the Alpine Slide!
One more great adventure, this time out to Avalanche Lake, one of the most popular hikes in Glacier Park.
Avalanche Gorge.
Impressive even during the low water season.
Now this is my kind of trail. Fantastic, dense forest.
Kyle liked the interesting trees.
Great views of the canyon walls.
Mossy ground cover, very reminiscent of the Olympic Pennisula.
We made it to Avanlanche Lake!
Crystal clear water. The scenery must be even more amazing in the Spring with snow and cascades flowing all around.
