Saturday was our last day in Glacier. The guys decided to get up early and head out fishing before we packed up and headed to the east side of Glacier. Kevin was lucky and was able to catch a fish before we left. The fish were hard to catch, but the scenery made it worth it. After leaving McDonald Lake we headed for the east side of Glacier. The east side looked totally different from the west side. The west side was very green, trees everywhere and the ground was covered in ferns and tons of different green plants and the east side was mountains with huge cliffs and glaciers. On our way over we saw the silver stairs waterfall, goat lick, East Glacier Park, Two Medicine Lake, St. Mary Lake and St Mary Falls. Unfortunately not the whole going to the sun road was open, so we were not able to go to Logan's Pass. When we got to St. Mary's Lake we were able to see some amazing glaciers and went on a beautiful hike to St. Mary Falls. Later that night we headed back to Great Falls. We had a great trip and I hope to make it back again.
The boys took this picture while they were fishing that morning. I love Glacier it is so beautiful every where you go.
Kevin was very excited to finally catch a fish. The fishing was really tricky, so it took the guys a while to figure out what flies they need to use. What a beautiful fish.

Silver Stair Falls
Two Medicine Lake
Some of the Last Glaciers left in Glacier National Park. By the time our kids our adults there wont be any left. That's pretty sad.
We saw this bird on our way to St. Mary Falls
Everyone heading out on the hike. We didn't really think we would make it to the top, but we did all 4 miles of it. McKenzie was quit the trooper. Brooklyn managed to hitch a ride from dad or the boys, but McKenzie hiked almost the whole way,she got tired on the way back and grandpa carried her. 
There were several beautiful waterfalls along the way.

St. Mary Falls. This waterfall was huge. It was beautiful. Ryan, Dino, Kevin and the girls were up top checking it out.
Ryan the girls and I at the top. The force of the water was so strong that if you got to close it would blow you over. The water was spaying all over. It was amazing. 
This is the view from the top.

If you look close at this mountain you can see the St. Mary Waterfall we hiked to.
