Many Gacier to East Glacier

From Many Glacier to East Glacier we had 3 large passes to hike over: Piegan, Triple Divide, and Pitamakan. Piegan essentially climbed right out of Many and proved to be a challenging day for my bilateral pinky toe blisters. Brian also battled with his blisters, which we blame on the snow and Gore-tex. The next day involved little elevation gain as we traveled around St. Mary's Lake for miles and miles. That night we were rewarded with a beautiful view right out our tent door. It sounded like a swamp monster but it turned out to just be a gigantic moose bounding through the lake waters (see picture). Triple Divide was amazing because we got to stand at the head waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and Hudson Bay all at the same time. Our last day over Pitamakan was beautiful with Two Medicine Lake greeting us in the distance as we slowly hiked (or hobbled in my case) down through a beautiful glacier carved valley. We made it to East Glacier the next day with 100 trail miles under our feet. We picked up the gear that Brian's Dad had sent and also picked up a pair of overnighted, larger toe box, shoes for me. And now we head off into the Bob Marshall Wilderness for 10 days (170 miles of trail) with no cell reception till Lincoln, MT (hopefully to celebrate the 4th of July).
