I had planned to hike with the Ranger to Iceberg Lake on this morning, but it took me a half hour longer to get here than I had hoped due to 4 road construction stops on the "Going to the Sun Road". So I was late. I missed them by 20mins.
Donning my hiking boots, back-pack, and trekking poles I hit Iceberg Ptarmigan Trail on my own. I caught up with a couple about a 1/2 mile in who were looking up the mountain at a Mountain goat who was too high up to get a good photo of so I left them and continued on.
I stopped to take a few photos of the wildflowers and soon a group of 4 passed me. You see 2 of them here. It was Spring in the park in mid July. Water was flowing down the mountain sides, and wildflowers were abundant.
About 2.5 miles into the hike to my astonishment I caught up with the Ranger and group! I hung out with them for a short time, but realized she was going to be taking too long, and I was to meet my friend Big Jay later that afternoon. So leaving the Ranger and group behind I set out on the Iceberg Ptarmigan Trail on my own for the second time this morning.
