This is my last painting of 2023 and the next of my national park paintings. This is a view over Grinnell Lake from where we hiked last summer on the Grinnell Glacier trail.

Iceberg Lake Trail
Last week I also hiked the Iceberg Lake Trail in Glacier National Park. It was a very scenic morning hike in the heart of Glacier’s bear country. though I looked for grizzlies and other hikers said they saw one near the trailhead I unfortunately never saw one on the hike.
I did however have a close encounter with another large mammal on the hike. As well as taking in the beautiful vistas, waterfalls, and smaller critter that make Glacier their home.
Grinnell Glacier Hike
My son and I completed the Grinnell Glacier Hike in Glacier National Park last week. It’s one of the most scenic hikes I’ve ever done and every bit worth the effort of a 14-mile round trip.
We started from the Swiftcurrent Lodge and saw moose along the shore of Lake Josephine and near Grinnell Lake. The wildflowers, waterfalls, and arriving at the glacier made it all a great experience. We finished with a well-deserved meal and drinks at Nell’s at Swiftcurrent Lodge.
I’m going to write a larger blog post about our entire Montana trip which covered a lot of road miles, tremendous hiking, historic sites, and more.
