Today was an Excursion to the French Valley where the glacier is. Last year the area was burned in a big fire, but after walking thru the burn area it opens up to beautiful scenery. It was about a 12 mile hike. Another 8-10 hour hike that is exhausting but well worth it. We took a boat across the lake to the beginning of the hike. Up at the plateau, just below the glaciers, we had lunch on some rocks and laid in the sunshine. As we rested, we heard and saw an amazing avalanche. We were in no danger, we were on a different ridge. It was a beautiful hike and a beautiful day.
