After
spending Monday on the road, we opted for a short hike near our campground to stretch
our legs and get the kinks out. We’re planning for a longer hike tomorrow and I
have a brand new pair of Merrell hiking boots that really need to be broken in.
We chose
Beaver Pond Loop Trail in honor of Callie who hated covering the same ground
twice. :) It was an easy 3.6-mile walk starting along St. Mary Lake then going across
meadows with a view of the “tree skeletons” left over from a 2006
fire, through an old growth conifer forest, past the beaver pond, and ending at
a historical 1913 ranger station. A nice start to our visit.
