The original plan for the day was for Stu and I to drive up the Glacier Creek FSR and have a look at the Horseshoe Glacier, just across the valley from Jumbo Pass. From the map, it seems like there would be a number of peaks that could be climbed from this glacier, a possibility for next summer perhaps.The day didn't unfold as we had planned. Forestry was busy replacing bridges on the Glacier Creek road and at Km 30 they had big machines digging holes in preparation for a new bridge. To salvage the day, we decided to head up to the Macbeth Glacier, partly to look at the trail conditions, partly to have a walk around on the glacier and partly because Stu hadn't been up to that area yet.
We discovered only about a dozen trees down across the trail and we only had time for a short walk around on the glacier, but the day was stellar with not a cloud to be seen. We also saw a small bear track in the path on the way up. Hope the bear enjoyed the blueberries that were along the trail. We found the berries a bit past their "best before" date so we left most of them for the bears.
