Portage
Glacier has receded enough so that it is not visible from the visitor's
center anymore. Nearby is Byron Glacier, though, that has a 2 mile
trail leading to it and is well worth the trek even though it gets
rough near the end.

This
was one trail that I really didn't want to see a bear share with
me. It was so small and surrounded by thick vegetation that it really
felt like one could just pop out at any minute, but my natural bear
repellant was working as usual, because I didn't see one - more
importantly, one didn't see me.

The
path gets rockier as the views get better to entice you to keep
going. |
|
|
|
The
sound of gurgling water leads the way and makes the trip more
enjoyable |
|
|
|

|
At
the end you can walk on the glacier up to the natural snow tunnel
that the gurgling water sings through. |

That
little slit to the right of the picture is a man - gives some perspective
on how big the tunnel was.
