An absolutely gorgeous day to be at Glacier Basin. Cold, but sunny and very little snow and few people on the trail. The first mile is still the boulder hopping stream crossing work around, which really is nice. Being that close to the river is quite a treat. When you make the turn to go up to the basin you do run into a tiny bit of snow but nothing that would cause you any trouble. It was completely clear when we got up there at 12:30 and sat leaning against some rocks, eating lunch, until the sun dipped behind the mountain, and,oops, the temperature dropped several degrees. Time to go, but it was hard to say goodbye to the beautiful views and the surprising solitude.
