    Two Medicine… finally! 🏔️🐻

    We started the day with breakfast before heading out to explore an area of Glacier National Park we’ve been waiting years to see — Two Medicine!

    The drive over MT-49 was a little exciting, but it gave us an unforgettable start. Along the cutover road, I spotted a big mama grizzly down in the valley with two (maybe three!) cubs. What an amazing sight and a great reminder that we were truly in bear country… sorry, no pics!

    Two Medicine Lake was absolutely stunning. Our nearly 9-mile hike took us to Aster Falls, Aster Overlook, and Rockwell Falls. Along the way, we spotted a mama moose, a marmot, and crossed a fun one-person suspension bridge. The trail was also filled with so many beautiful wildflowers, adding even more color to an already incredible landscape.

    With bear sightings reported in the area, we stayed alert the entire hike, but thankfully our only bear encounters were from a safe distance.

    Afterward, we stopped in East Glacier for a well-earned huckleberry bear claw — the perfect treat after a day spent exploring bear country! 🐻 (Looks like we cleaned them out… and again, no picture of the actual claw! 😝)

    Two Medicine was absolutely worth the wait: beautiful scenery, wildlife, wildflowers, and another unforgettable Glacier adventure.
