In this video you will see the many sights around Many Glacier Hotel and Swiftcurrent Lake from my Hike around the area in early July 2012. My sister and her husband also went with me and we all loved the breathtaking scenery. Please watch this in HD and full screen if possible to take advantage of the beauty!
This was our third day at Many Glacier Hotel and the best day of our stay from a weather standpoint. It was bright and sunny throughout the day and temps in the high 50's to low 60's. We spent about 3 hours walking around the Hotel and Swiftcurrent Lake filming all the scenery and then had a nice lunch at the hotel.
It felt great to be out in the middle of nowhere hiking in the mountains not knowing what lies ahead. We were a little nervous about the Bears from people talking about them and then seeing the signs posted. You have to take it seriously because you just never know when and if you may run into a wild Bear. We did see one Grizzly Bear way up on one mountain but far from us to worry about. It was hard to even see him with binoculars and we did not venture in the area he was in.
We hiked around Swifcurrent Lake and that trails was 2.6 miles. There were other trails that led further into the mountains and we did take one trail that led us to Lake Josephine but we decided to stop and not go any further into the mountains. We could of went on to Grinnell Lake and even the Grinnell Glacier but that was quite far and not knowing how long it was going to take we decided against it. We are not experienced mountain hikers either so that did have some play into the decision.
The Moose we saw was across the lake at one point so I had to zoom all the way in with my camcorder to capture it so it is a little shaky but neat to see. The still images at the end of the video I shot with my 4.0 mega pixel camcorder still image recording, not bad I must say!
From what I did film around the Hotel and Lakes you can see that it is beautiful country with some majestic scenery! Enjoying the Great Outdoors to the Fullest :-)
