Red Cedar Forest - a photo on Flickriver

Red Cedar Forest

            I visited Glacier National Park in mid-June, and I booked my stay near the Western entrance of Apgar.  Unfortunately, this was a few days before Logan Pass was opened for the 2018 season, so there were some limitations on places to go and things to do.  

The weather during this trip was uncooperative with steady rain, temperatures in the mid-40°F range, and heavy cloud cover.  Determined to make the most of it, I drove up the Going-to-the-Sun Road as far as I could go and decided to take a tour of the Trail of Cedars Nature Trail.

Thing is, when it's rainy, chilly, around 7:00 PM, and the height of bear mating season, there aren't too many other people on the trail.  Figuring that news reports always highlight the lone hiker ill-suited for grizzly encounters was starting all too close to home, I walked about a 1/4 mile into the dense canopy, before re-thinking my plan, and returning to the nearest outfitters to pick up a bear whistle, bell, and bear spray.

I did manage to capture a few images before I decided to return to more civilized environs, and I definitely whetted my appetite for the next opportunity to get to Glacier NP - better prepared!
