Wynn Mountain Glacier National Park September 19, 2018

Today didn't look very promising with relation to the weather and well, it turned out to be just that.  We headed up and decided at Cardston that the Many Glacier area looked the best and we figured we'd try out Wynn Mountain.  The first while the tops of the mountains were under cloud cover and eventually we got high enough that we were in that cloud cover.  There was the odd time that it looked like it would clear, but it never did.  We stayed on the summit for quite some time because it looked like it could break but it didn't.  The hike wasn't bad and the view would have been great.  We did get a good look at Cracker Lake upon descent.

Our view at Many Glacier in the morning

Creek bed we climbed up

If this creek bed was full of water it would be a little trickier

One of the moments it opened up to see Cracker Lake

Pretty similar looking cloud cover as on approach

The fall colors were in full force today
