St. Mary Lake

Our last hike in Glacier National Park was halfway around St. Mary Lake. Our picnic in the parking lot was a little windy, but the hike was fabulous. It was about seven miles round trip.  

This is the first of three waterfalls we saw during our hike. There were actually several more, but I learned that it is not technically considered a waterfall unless it is at least twenty feet high. 

There was this cool dock we were able to walk out on. When you jumped on it, the dock swayed back and forth. I pretended I was a pirate and for the rest of the hike started every sentence with "argh"... just kidding.

The second waterfall. 

Upon seeing the water in Glacier, I was  constantly reminded of Gatorade. The camera doesn't even do the color justice. 

I love this picture of father and son at St. Mary Falls. This was our final destination and the tallest one. It was definitely worth the hike. Cole's thigh looks massive in this shot. We can pretend that he has always been a chubby baby. 

The falls in all their glory. 

Cole was laughing uproariously on the way back. Every time we would try to take a video, he would stop. At least we got a photo to capture his love of hiking.
