Getting ready to head out of St. Mary and hit the trail

It's time to hit the trail, starting at Jackson Glacier trail head

Looking at Jackson Glacier, where we will be heading the next day.

Heading out.. finally

Chris.. you sure you can make the jump??

He made it... but NO he didn't really jump

It's tough to make out, but there is a bear between the trees, way in the distance.

Looking down at everyone eating lunch at Florence Falls

Some neat flowers in front of the falls.

Looking up towards the top of Florence Falls

Another shot of Florence Falls

Here is dad and I in front of the falls

Here is a shot of the moose that walked into camp at Gunsight Lake

The $#%& deer ate my sweat ban.. there were 3 nuicense deer here.

Another shot of the moose

Looking back, at Gunsight Lake campground, on the way up to Jackson Glacier

Looking back.. except I snuk in at the bottom of the picture.

Slowly making our way to Jackson Glacier

Here we leave the trail and start the off trail part of the climb

Chris takes a little break on the way up to Jackson

Here is the easy part of the climb

As it starts getting a bit rocky.. more to come.

Chris crosses the first of many snow fields

Bill and myself make our way across a snow field.

Very slippery crossing this.

Bill makes his way up, while I dodge rocks that rolling my way.

Chris stands in front of some snow, as we get closer to Jackson

I slowly, lumber my way up to Jackson

Very few flowers up in this area.

I think this is Bill and myself.. but not sure.

Here we stand in front of a small water falls beside Jackson Glacier

Here we start heading back down

Here is a shot of Gunsight Lake from camp, looking towards Gunsight Pass

Here we stop for lunch on the way to Red Eagle Lake

Even with the smoke, we did get some neat pictures at Red Eagle Lake

Another shot of Red Eagle Lake

Tripple Divide Pass

Tripple Divide Pass area....still

Finally made it

Looking down at a lake that has some small icebergs in it.

Bill crossing a swinging bridge on the way back to camp.

Looking back where we were.

A little field at the other end of Red Eagle Lake

Looking down the lake, towards where our camp is.

The rain cleared out a lot of the smoke in the area.

Able to see a little more now after the cold rain.

Time to head out, walking through a field on the way back to St. Mary's.

A neat shot looking back at where we came from.

Another shot from the field

A shot of the loop. It will take a long time for this to recover.
