Polebridge, Numa, Bowman, Oh MY

My bestest friend came up to visit and we did a couple of our favorite activities...Hike & Eat! We decided to explore a part of Glacier we both had never been to, but wondered about. The northwest side by Polebridge. If you've never been to Polebridge, it's quite the "town" and the Merc is the only place to buy Anything. The bakery is WONDERFUL though...we both highly recommend it.
I would have to say the hiking (what little we did up there) is far better than anywhere else in the park...that I've been to at least! There are fewer tourists, people, and it seems more removed from the world than the other parts of the park. This area is truely stunning and remote. I loved it! Hike there if you ever get a chance.

Welcome to Polebridge

Huckleberries!!!!

Hiking up to the Numa Ridge Lookout from Bowman Lake is a pretty nice hike. In just over 5 1/2 miles you climb 2,930 ft. The view from the top is spectacular. You can see how large Bowman is in the distance in one of the pictures
