Today we hiked the greatest trail of our lives. We drove the Going to the Sun Road to Logan Pass at the Continental Divide where the Highline Trail starts across the road from the Visitors Center. This amazing trail follows along the edge of the continental divide and has amazing panoramic views of the mountains and deep valleys of Glacier national park. It was around 40 degrees and quite chilly in the shade when we began our five mile hike, but by the time we returned, we had peeled out of our jackets. It’s hard to say anything exceeded the scenery, but the highlight of the hike was seeing big horn sheep- up close and personal. They were actually posing for us (or so it seemed) on the cliff above the trail. They kicked some rock loose and we were almost hit by a falling rock as one of the Rams jumped off a rock. A lady we met on the trail said one of the rams came down the trail earlier head down clearing the trail. Needless to say, we took too many photos of rams! And then, as if not to be outdone, two mountain goats appeared. It was an exhilarating hike that we will always remember, though we were mighty tired at the end of the day.
