Our hike this week involved going up St. Mary's Glacier (seen below). As it turns out walking over the glacier is pretty easy, even in hiking boots. Although your author did slip and fall once. Overconfidence I suspect.
The hike turned out to be a special one. Once we got through the glacier and up on the plateau things really opened up and we could see the colors changing everywhere. There were stunning views in the valleys in all directions.
Fellowship on these hikes is extra special too. The opportunity to get to know each other better and care for each other is just as good as the beautiful fall colors.
We made it all the way to the flanks of James Peak and decided to stop partway up the flanks of the mountain and have lunch. It was starting to snow a little and we were concerned about the weather so we decided to head back.
In the distance you can Gray's and Torry's Peaks. Dan is taking in the views and enjoying the hike.
At the bottom of the glacier I took this photo of the group in front of the lake. Once again we were rewarded with fall colors in the willows displaying their colors.
