Lovin' the trip report, Paul! (Though now I'm feeling REALLY guilty for still not writing mine…)
I'm so glad we finally got to hike together this year.
And I agree that Snow Moon was an absolutely perfect choice for a first-of-the-season Glacier hike. (Paul and I arrived in the park the same day.)
BTW, I think the reason we didn't take many pictures on the way up was that the streambed was hella steep! (Thanks again for your patience when I was more bovine- than goat-like (er, caprine?) on some of those steep parts.
)
So, not to hijack your report, but here are a few pictures of Paul on that Snow Moon hike.
At the base of the cliffs:
King of the Mountain!

Picking our way back down the streambed:
And, since I'm not sure I'm going to have time to do my own trip report, this (semi) boot shot is especially for Jen….What better way to celebrate the first Glacier hike of the season than with a piece of Kathryn's Triple Berry "Pie for Strength" pie?
I'M SO GLAD YOUR BACKPACK WENT SO WELL, PAUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(And I love those layered sunrise shots from Frances…)
