It ain't heavy, it's my bike: Glacier National Park, Day 3

Someday the mountain might get 'em but the law never will

We were looking for a lighter hiking day, so we hiked from the hotel to Grinnell Lake, which was 7 miles round trip, and pretty much completely flat. We saw a moose by Lake Josephine, and saw a mountain goat on a cliff above Grinnell Lake.

Noble!

We walked across a suspension bridge on the trail, which was cool.

Bouncy!

I think this one goes here?

We were staying back in East Glacier that night, so we drove to St. Mary and stopped at the supermarket, which was pretty cleared out because of the end of the season, and generally pretty depressing. They had any kind of bread you wanted, as long as it was white.

We paused frequently on the drive to appreciate the views. We agreed that we can't believe that we're physically in this place right now. We drove to the Glacier Park Lodge, and we went up to our room, which was pretty strange -- the fire protection piping was placed very haphazardly around the room at a height of 5'-6" or so. We complained to the front desk and got rewarded much more generously than we should have: they put us in the Golf Cottage for two of our three nights, which was a full 2-bedroom house with two full bathrooms, a kitchen, and DirecTV. It is fantastic.

We had dinner at the Looking Glass, which was exceptional. Molly and I had Luna's Salad, which is some sort of Pittsburgh tradition with steak and french fries on it. The huckleberry pie was excellent. Reed said the Indian Taco was better than the one he had at Serrano's. We went back to the cottage and drank box wine and watched The Office which Reed and Busse planned their epic hike for Tuesday.
