Glacier National Park, MT

TOTAL MILES TRAVELED: 9,777

Today, we hiked the Trout Lake Trail in Glacier National Park. The trail led through a burned forest, a result of the Sprague Wildfire caused by a lightning storm in 2017. The fire engulfed 16,982 acres, which feels without end when you’re standing in it. It’s a very different experience, the contrast of the endless black charred trees against the fresh green foliage and beautiful wildflowers. We dubbed this hike “the wildflower hike.”
