Glacier Basin — Monday, Aug. 8, 2022

We camped at White River last night (Sunday) and started our hike this morning  (Monday) from the campground. We hit the trailhead at 7:30 a.m. Trail is in really good shape. Wide in most places. There were zero sketchy spots on trail. Uphill from beginning but its a very slight grade. Doesn't get steeper until the last 25% but still moderate. There are some stunning views along the way. We got to the Basin Camp at 9:30 where we sat on a log and ate some brunch. There were 5 or 6 sites of backpackers camping. We then continued on to the unmaintained trail for a ways, along the water to where the path ends. Climbed down the rocks to admire the beautiful flowing river. Stayed about an hour then headed back down. Bugs were pretty annoying but we were covered in spray and didn't get bitten. Passed about 20 people coming up as we went down. Took 2 hours to reach the top, stayed an hour took about an hour and 15 minutes back down.  This hike is rated as moderate and I agree. As far as scenery, we give it a 7/10 (but we're very spoiled). Glad we started early. It was a good day.
