  • Glacier National Park, Montana
    WED 24.8. GLACIER NATIONAL PARK, MONTANA Our food bags were back by 6 a.m. The temperature in the morning was - 4°C. I met /talked to a young couple from Barcelona (they´d been travelling in the same car as we did 3 years ago- DODGE CAMPER, better than our Toyota, because they could fold all the seats, whilst we couldn´t). On my question how they keep safe from bears, when having food inside – they had shown me a big plastic box which they purchased at Walmart. They thought it would be safe for them to keep food in their car and sleep in it, too. These young people had travelled in Europe quite extensively on their motorbike a few years ago; they went to the High Tatra Mountains in Slovakia, too. After breakfast we drove from our camp at St. Mary to Many Glacier location, and there we separated, as VP could not walk up as fast and as far as I could, and did not want to limit me. So, I decided to walk up to Grinnell Glacier and was about to take Grinnell Glacier Trailhead, when stopped by two smart rangers who were warning walkers about grizzly feeding on berries. Being on my own (the recommended number of walkers was at least three), they had stopped a young chap with his girlfriend and asked if I could join them, the young couple did not object to it. As the chap had a hand gun on his chest the rangers questioned him about using it and stressed, that should he shoot a bear, he would have to justify it in court, and have damn good reason for doing that.
