Sally and I took a day trip up into GNP today. The weather looked set fair, though it was chilly in the shade (plenty of that with tress around). The road is still closed further up, but we were able to drive the first 14 miles to Avalanche. The road takes up along MacDonald lake, where we were able to stop and get some nice pics, particularly as the lake was fairly still and I was able to get some interesting reflective pics.
Then on to Avalanche Picnic area, where, surprisingly, we had our picnic lunch, then we walked the Cedar Trail, which is handicap accessible,it was lovely walk among the big Cedar and Hemlock trees, across a small tumbling stream rushing between a narrow gorge.

We have really enjoyed seeing these photos, road still closed! Such a short season. We had to bring the map up to see where you were as its a while since we were there. We saw Grinnell lake further north from Avalance and remembered we had hiked to that lake and it had chunks of ice in it and we saw bears on the way there on the hillside. Such happy memories - thank you for your blog and the photos are superb - love all those reflections - wish we were there!
