cier of Citadel, Reynolds and Fusillade mountains
and of the heights about Gunsight pass far beyond
is most impressive.
While we nger here rnarveling at the upside
down" waterfall the vivid colors of the mountains
and the ice-green lake spread at our feet the
sharp peak Of Fusillade Is yelled by clouds that
pour swiftly and about the nearer heights,
and away up there snowstorm is raging. For US
it is rain however, and driven to shelter we crowd
into the cabin of the launch and hustle back to St
Mary camp.
From St. Mary camp the automobile road has
lust been extended some 20 miles to Many-Gacier
camp on Lake McDermott This place, IN Itself
fine enough, is the headquarters from which we
make short trips to some of the parks greatest

berg lake. This little body of exquisitely blue wa
ter is almost wholly surrounded by serrated'
splintered ridges that tower 5000 feet above It's
surface. On kind of shelf lies what is left OF the
ancient glacier that scooped out this basin ages
ago, and from it's edges icebergs large and small,
are continually breaking off to go floating laz1ly
about in the lake. Iceberg lake is the habitat OF
the polar trout discovered by Hoke Smith, who
says they have fur instead of scales.
Now back to the Glacier Park hotel Tor mail ana
a little rest for we are seeing the park in a lazy
1esurely fashion And what next? Well, suppose
we give at least day to Two Medicine lake, a
region that for sheer beauty can hold its own

In about three hours and on the way up the lovely

If there are any real fishermen in our party the
best thing they do is to 90 to ST. Mary camp
again, and from there by trail to Red Eagle lake,
three hours distant. This beautiful green lake,
only a mile long and half mile wide, is from 2oo
to 500 feet deep, and fairly sWarms with cut
throat trout, while in the streams that flow into
and out of it the Dolly Warden trout is found IN
great numbers. These fish are good lighters and

The first time you sit on horse and try to land
