Randy and I are standing in the middle of St. Mary's Glacier. It goes back about 1/2 mile behind us. The snow is dirty with the dust brought in by the wind.The view from here is fantastic.
Bebo caught 5 fish from this lake and then panfried them for us right there. Yumm!
Randy got to eat steak since he is allergic to fish. Poor guy.
The lake was literally jumping with fish.
We took lots of pictures but none of them do any justice to the beauty of the area.
The climb up the hill was strenuous because the high altitude. 11,000 feet.
We took it slow and studied the pretty rocks that were too big to carry and enjoyed the scenery.
We met a guy at the top climbing down from the glacier with his skis. He said it was well worth the climb to ski the small glacier. No Tbar for him.
The air was so fresh up there cooled by the snow and sweetened with the scent of pine.
Everyone was smiles the whole time because of the beauty.
Maybe we'll hike a 14'er with Melanie next year.

The glacier we are standing on is that little strip of snow you see in the background above the lake.
It was quite a hike up to the lake and then again up to the glacier.
Well worth every step.
I was going to take Megan here too but she was only in CO for about 6 hours & I had to work.
