Highline Trail and Swiftcurrent Mountain August 16, 2019 Glacier National Park

So I had done this trail years ago but today we added a few side trips.  It was a cooler day and thus we didn't get as hot, which was nice.  However, we barely missed a hug downpour of rain at the end and then that night it snowed on Logan's Pass.  Anyways, this is a very common trail very traveled and the entire way was trailed.  To my surprise the Fire-lookout at Swiftcurrent mountain is still in use.  Anyways great day with lots of km's. 

Start of our day

Oberlin very nice summit with a great view
