Beautiful glacier and three waterfalls

Glacial water is refreshing

Friendly Park Ranger that we first met on the informational video prior to entering the park.
We are envious of his job. Six days on (in the mountains) then 7 days off.
We almost asked for his autograph, but in the end settled for this photo. :o)
