Enjoying the scenery

This morning we awoke with a thick fog enveloping everything, and we thought "We were lucky to arrive when we did yesterday." But the fog burned off, and we had two walks today. The first was a short woods walk in the morning, and we had a longer "rim" walk this PM. The area is spectacular. This is by far the most beautiful Park we have seen (but we have not been to Yosemite yet, and we missed the east side of Glacier). We are also missing the eastern side of the rim drive and the hikes along that side - for the same reason as at Glacier - too much snow there still. The north side of the rim remains snowy, while the sun beats down on the south side - it is quite a contrast. Pictures today include one from the AM walk, two more lake shots, and two over in the north, "looking the other way."
