Road Less Traveled / Quartz Lake Glacier np
Wed July 21 '10 Bowman lake Glacier np... out in the wilderness of MT
A trail less traveled for sure. was the oldest Hiker on it & made everyone over 60 proud.
They named it "Heart attack Hill" ; the lazy W shaped trail 800' up, then down, then 1,200' up, then down to Lower Quartz Lake. ... a pristine glacier formed lake in the northern Rockies.
Had already hiked some at Kintla lake, THE northernmost camp in Glacier np. drove 48 teeth shaking miles past Polebridge on primitive dirt road to get there. Across the lake were the Border mountains... correctly named as they were the Canadian Border. Waterton pk Canada park is just North of here.
This is the raw wilderness part Glacier & few people because it's so remote; also why it's still pristine. Will see this Montana wilderness to start & go into Glacier main part of park in a few days.
Now 14 miles south & 6 dirt road miles in to Bowman lake. bigger. more people too.. ugh. so the hike to a pristine glacier lake sounded like a once lifetime hike to me. ...always have regretted the things I said no to ; rewarded by the best things & places when I took the risk to see. ... THE road / trail Less traveled!
