As we started out our last day we had a lot to see. Each full day we were there we probably hiked 7-10 miles. Thankfully it was made of of several hikes broken up so we had some time to rest between spots. We made sure we had sunblock and bug spray on. Most of the places we went didn't have bugs but it is better to be prepared then itchy.
One of the many breath taking views on the drive to the sun.
The water always had this blue tint. They said it was from the glaciers braking down the rocks and the minerals made the water look blue. I wish all water looked like that. Some of the lakes around here could use a make over. Hee hee.
On this hike we went on the parking lot was up above and then we hiked down to see a waterfall and then you can decide on continuing on with the hike to see two other waterfalls or going back. We were so amazed by the first one we took a vote and everyone wanted to continue. If you ask any of our kids about this trip they will tell you about the grizzly bear. Yep, a GRIZZLY BEAR! It was big and on the path ahead of us. Luckily we were with a large group of people. Lots of noise was made
and the bear kept its distance. The kids loved seeing the bear so closely. After we saw two of the waterfalls we started hiking up to the third one and Lauren got a bloody nose. With no tissues with us we had to resort to finding a big fuzzy leaf. She wasn't to happy about that but it did the trick. The way back up to the car was a long journey with some hand pulling we made it and were so glad to see the car.
We were lucky to have some people take some pictures of our family. The breeze from the waterfall felt so good. It was really hot this day.
We had so much fun on our trip. I will post the last of day three later. I need to take care of the kids.

Sounds like a neat place to visit! I haven't been to that national park. Did you get any pictures of the bear?
