August 27 2011 Glacier-Avalanche Gorge

Today after our marathon hike yesterday we can not walk, particularly down hill. We drove to the grove of cedars hike and Avalanche gorge. On the other side of the pass from us, long drive, but very lovely.  Very damp. Cedars grow on the west side of the divide where it has more moisture. Old growth trees.

Avalanche gorge falls.  John in the falls at the bottom on our hike from yesterday. After our hike we returned to the swimming hole we found the day before and found another nice hole just upstream from the one from yesterday. Everyone who came down that hot hill stopped at the water. Guess we did not have an original idea.
