Yaking Glacier National Park

Being parked only minutes outside of Glacier National Park means we had to pop in, at least for a day, before crossing into Canada this weekend. For Kerri and me it was all about checking Lake McDonald  off our ‘kayaked’ list. We just couldn’t pass by a good reason to kayak in a National Park. Dan (@malimish_dan) joined us out on the water for a short paddle. We had tried to paddle down the creek branching off the lake, but within a few dozen yards we realized that the current would be too strong to make it back up any long distances. We immediately turned around and I accepted blame for turning us all down that path.

After an hour or so in the water, the entire group went up the 16 miles of road that were open at this time of the year and explored what we could.
