Like, I know that lobbyist, wish-list, congress is kinda the circle of legislative life and the executive branch publishing these is aspirational permission-granting garbage and I don’t speak bureaucrat very well but: I’m pretty unimpressed w/ the lot of these. Sorry for politics, side-note while I’m at it; repeal the second!

Most of the ascent and descent was on narrow switchbacks with a rock wall to one side and a 50-100’+ cliff to the other.
Lots of water falls!
The hike we DNC’d.
Logan’s Pass is an easy boardwalk ascent up 1.5 miles around a crag with a much more steep descent on the far side to a lake. We talked ourseles into following the yellow posts up the bunny slope about 3/4 of a mile.
Until the wind gusted hard enough to almost knock us over.
and then the simple way back which had been clear was obscured entirely by a very hard gust pushing a cloud over the ridge. So we noped our way back.

The view back up past the Continental Divide to the kind of cloud we’d just been lost in on the Logan’s Pass hike.
If you have water on the lens, artsy fartsy Tv 1/6 shots will capture it marvelously and artfully.
A distant valley falls, ~300’ high?
One of two short tunnels on the road to the sun.
Fire evidence.
Grandure, again, sun blinding off the lake and sky.

Our encounter with a momma Grizzly bear and her two cubs on Swan Lake Meadows.

A buncha bison clopping along, onto, and off the road, encircling two calves. These jerks caused a 30 minute dead-stop traffic jam while they decided where to go.

A dumb bird we walked past a few times in Swan Lake Meadows, and the last photo in the set before my camera battery died, the rest are phone shots.
After 3.5 miles of Swan Lake Meadows, we were ready for the hard part: a scenic flat mile of trail and then an 800 foot descent over technical switchbacks into Sheepeater Canyon.

We’d seen this at the trailhead but continued on.
Because we were a foursome.
We encountered the Grizzly and her two cubs! Video to follow!

Beautiful cast of American Gods (IMDB)
_The series will focus on the mysterious Shadow, a man who is released from prison a few days early after serving a three-year sentence for bank robbery when his beloved wife Laura is killed in a car accident. Flying home for the funeral, Shadow is seated next to a man who introduces himself only as Mr. Wednesday, and this man knows more about Shadow’s life, both past and present, than is possible. Shadow comes to learn that Wednesday is, in fact, the god Odin of Norse mythology and that all of the gods that mankind has ever believed in are alive in human form and live among regular people. Shadow is soon thrust into a gathering conflict between the Old gods and the so-called “New gods”, the gods of money and technology who believe there is no longer room on Earth for the old gods.
