Southbound day 6

Another day another 10 miles another dinner with a huge group if hikers. Unlike the last three days today was perfectly clear. The hike up the pass was easy and the views were spectacular.

I had heard from the Rangers that the trail in the Blackfeet Indian side of the park was a muddy nasty mess. It wasn't that bad it was actually better than most of the trails in new Mexico. Granted compared to the near perfect trails of Glacier it was bad but so is pretty much every trail I've ever hiked. They take really good care if the trails in glacier.

Once in town we tried to get a room at the same motel we stayed at last time but they raised their rates by 30 a night. They said we are now in prime season and wouldn't give us, repeat business a break. We went to the motel next door that hadn't raised their rates, who managed to sell all their rooms for the night while the first motel had empties. We had made arrangements with the other hikers to meet at the local Mexican restaurant for dinner. We were joined by the guys who had hiked in the pervious day and another car full of flip flopers. We took over the entire back porch of the restaurant. It was almost as crazy as pie town.
