Sept 13th:Day 25

The weather was lousy but we stuck to our plan to hike the "Path of the glacier and Edith Cavel  meadows".
The approach is up through the glacial moraine
The glacial pond is a brilliant turquoise strewn with fridge-sized icebergs.
This is the toe of the lower glacier with Angel glacier hanging above.
The hike up to the meadows gave us awesome views down on the pond.
We hiked up into snow. SNOW!!
In the background, across the valley, hangs Angel glacier.
This is about where we turned around. There was a grizzly bear warning  so we were singing and hollering the whole time so as not to surprise the mother and her cub.
We hiked out and ordered pizza for dinner.
Very bad pizza.
