Near Upper Two Medicine Lake (Glacier National Park)
Our Sinopah boat tour captain said that if we took the trail to Upper Two Medicine Lake, we would find a “pond” just before the lake that usually has a moose in it. This looked more like another lake than a pond to me, and sure enough there is a moose in there. Unfortunately, I only had my 16-50mm lens, so no close ups of the moose. This pond, Two Medicine Lake, and Lower Two Medicine Lake are all fed by the same Two Medicine Creek that begins out of Upper Two Medicine Lake.
The mountain in the foreground on the right is Rising Bull Ridge and the one behind it in the center is Mt. Rockwell.

Mountain goats near Glacier National Park
We visited the Goat Lick Overlook the last time we went to Glacier National Park in 2020. This time, when we arrived, people were leaving with binoculars and long camera lenses saying there weren’t any goats. That was true for a few minutes, but then the goats arrived right next to the parking lot the disappointed people had just vacated.
