The awesome forces of nature that deposited and later carved Glacier's ancient rock will be the subject during three days of invigorating hikes into Glacier's high country. We'll hike to the Hidden Lake Overlook and along the Highline Trail to see premier glacial features. We will spend two nights camping at Swiftcurrent Campground in Many Glacier Valley. The hike to Grinnell Glacier will show us the glacier's recession close up. We'll also travel to Apikuni Falls to look at ancient algae formations.
