These pictures were taken while on our way to Lake McDonald
Lodge.
Look at Karen's feet. They have ice on
them. The temperature of the waters in these lakes are in the
40s.
The water here is absolutely crystal clear.
This is actually the back of the lodge.
When they built the lodge, there was no road and the only way to get there
was by boat. So the front faces the lake (out back).
Out of the 33 buses still in service, 22 have
been returned from Ford. The rest are still being refurbished.
This stream goes straight into Lake McDonald
and offers awesome fishing. You don't need a permit in the national
parks.
Only problem is that this lake is 475 feet deep. The trout tend
to hang out at about 100 feet.
