Divide Mountain Glacier National Park June 2, 2018

Well today I had to be back for a meeting so I didn't want to do a hike that would take to long.  So today's summit was Divide Mountain.  It would have been an even shorter hike if there hadn't been a drift on the back country road that made us walk and extra 1 or 2 km each way.  Anyways it was a great day except for the wind.  I took my two youngest kids on this adventure and they made it most of the way up.  They puttered out by the abandoned look our tower and I carried on to the summit alone.  The views were great and the hike was pretty straight forward.

Our views to start the day

Two options go left or right, we chose to go up from the left, there was still significant snow to go around on the right

Haven't seen tonnes of flowers this year, but haven't hiked in lush areas yet either

Descending the way we went up

Looking back at our summit for the day

This was the snow drift that impeded our vehicle from going any further, hence the extra few km of walking on the road
