East to West Glacier

It was time to move from East Glacier Park to West Glacier. Consequently, our hikes were short to allow for driving time. Here you'll see Running Eagle Falls, Paradise Point and Howe Lake.
Chegou a hora de viajar de East Glacier Park para West Glacier. Consequentemente, as caminhadas foram curtas por causa da viagem. Aqui verão as Quedas Running Eagle, Ponto do Paraíso e o Lago Howe.
Running Eagle Falls trail is very short and scenic.  It's only 3/4 mile via a nature trail. A trilha das Quedas Running Eagle é bem curta e bonita. Tem apenas cerca de 1,25 km por meio de uma trilha natural. : Glacier NP, Running Eagle Falls, vacation 2014  GNP2014 091 DSC03394 : Glacier NP, Running Eagle Falls, vacation 2014  GNP2014 092 DSC05041 : Glacier NP, Running Eagle Falls, vacation 2014  GNP2014 093 DSC03401 : Glacier NP, Running Eagle Falls, vacation 2014  GNP2014 094 DSC03402 : Glacier NP, Running Eagle Falls, vacation 2014  GNP2014 095 DSC03403 : Glacier NP, Running Eagle Falls, vacation 2014  You can hear the waterfall a see the area around it.

We did this short trail back in 2009, and it was worth revisiting it: Paradise Point.

Depois de sairmos do lado leste do parque, em cerca de 2 horas chegamos ao lado oeste no belo alojamento Glacier Guides. : Glacier Guides Lodge, Glacier NP, vacation 2014  Beautiful grounds and lodging facilities were amazing. O local e nosso quarto eram muito bonitos. : Glacier Guides Lodge, Glacier NP, West Glacier, vacation 2014  GNP2014 106 DSC03427 : Glacier Guides Lodge, Glacier NP, West Glacier, vacation 2014  The back of our room opened into a nice patio. Aos fundos do nosso quarto tinha esse pátio. : Glacier Guides Lodge, Glacier NP, vacation 2014 
Since we had a bit of time before sunset, we decided to go to Howe Lake. Como ainda tínhamos tempo antes do por-do-sol, decidimos ir até o Lago Howe. : Glacier NP, Howe Lake, vacation 2014  Our roundtrip hike was 3.5 miles, and we were warned about bears and moose in the area. Nossa caminhada de ida e volta foi de 5,5 km e sabíamos que poderíamos nos deparar com a presença de ursos e alces. : Glacier NP, Howe Lake, vacation 2014  Luckily for us, we had no sightings of those animals. We were also the only people there. Para nossa sorte, não vimos esses animais. Fomos apenas as únicas pessoas aqui. : Glacier NP, Howe Lake, vacation 2014  That's our bear spray, always handy. Aquilo lá é o spray para afastar ursos, sempre bem à mão. : Glacier NP, Howe Lake, vacation 2014  Here's the view we enjoyed. Aqui está a vista que curtimos.  Coming back, we kept on making noises in case bears were in the area. No retorno, continuamos fazendo barulho em caso de haver ursos na área. : Glacier NP, Howe Lake, vacation 2014  Then I heard an owl and found it on top of a tree. Foi aí que escutei uma coruja e a encontrei no topo de uma árvore. : Glacier NP, Howe Lake, vacation 2014  It watched us and never flew away. Ela nos olho sem medo e nem voou. : Glacier NP, Howe Lake, vacation 2014  Getting back closer to the main park road, we had to stop the car because of this deer on the road. Retornando à estrada principal do parque, tivemos que parar o carro por causo desse veado na estrada. : Glacier NP, Howe Lake, vacation 2014 
It finally moved to the side to let us pass. Ele finalmente saiu da estrada para nós passarmos. : Glacier NP, Howe Lake, vacation 2014  The last two trails in the Two Medicine area: Running Eagle Falls 3/4 miles) and Paradise Point (1.42 mi). As duas últimas caminhadas na área de Lago Two Medicine: Quedas Running Eagle (1,25 km) e Ponto do Paraíso (2,3 km).  We drove a one-lane dirt road to get to the trail head of Howe Lake (3.55 miles roundtrip, 463 ft elevation gain). Fomos de carro numa estrada de barro de uma pista apenas até chegar no começo da trilha para o Lago Howe (5,5 km, 141 m de elevação).
