I recently took a trip to Glacier National Park that was nothing short of spectacular! Every year it gets voted best National Park and I can see why. These pictures don’t even do it justice. I hike to Avalanche Lake and all the things I read ahead of time said “DONT HIKE ALONE.” Because there are tons of bears. However I was on the trip alone so I had no choice. So I got up really early and drove out to the trail and there were tons of people around so I was like great! Got all the way out to the lake, took in the view and said to myself, well all the worry for nothing...no bears in site. I got up to turn around and head back out on the trail and I was literally standing 6 feet from A BLACK BEAR AND HER CUB! I about shit my pants but luckily many of the hikers knew what to do which was to just make loud noises, keep their distance and eventually mama and baby moseyed on their merry way. #nature
