We Showed up at the Many Glacier Ranger station, and reserved our
backcountry camp sites, after a long drive from picking up Dad in Billings,
Montana. Despite the slightly inclimate weather, there was a rather large line, so we
ended up not getting our first choice, but we were able to pull off a several day trip,
by only signing up a day in advance.
Day 1
We started from the Many Glacier campground, headed up past
Ptarmigan Falls, on to Ptaramigan tunnel,
with a view of Ptarmigan lake, on the south side.
On the North side there was still a snow bank. We continued on,
until reaching Elizabeth Lake - passing some
horses and a circalong the way.
Then we sunned ourselves along the Northern shore of
Elizabeth Lake, before making camp.
Day 2
A short hike, through a stream on the way to camping at Mokowanis Lake.
Day 3
Back to the Elizabeth Lake. This time, on the Southern shore.
Day 3
Hell day. Up and over Red Gap Pass, on our way to
Poia Lake.
Day 3
An easy hike out to the Red Gap Pass trailhead. Let Dad hangout by the gear while,
I take a quick two mile jog to the Many Glaciers trailhead, to get the truck.
