Early Season Backpacking in Glacier National Park (Days 2-3)

After making base camp in the Belly River valley, we head up to Helen Lake. We end up following a family of bears! At the end of the day, we get to see a black bear frolicking with (chasing) some geese near the Belly River Ranger Station. Our last day is spent enjoying some nicer weather as we head back to the trailhead at the USA-Canada border.

Great video of Belly River, my favorite area of GNP.

Went there on our honeymoon. It was awesome.

Happy for you that you got to see a bear! Waiting for the year I get to earn my badge seeing a bear on a backpacking trip.

Backpack in Glacier and you've got a pretty good chance ;)
