When I got to the end of the trail I was disappointed that I wasn't "at the edge". The roped off area was some distance above and away from the edge of the glacier. A cold, stiff wind blew off the ice, I was glad to have my sweatshirt to zip up. The surface of the glacier was rough, very dirty looking and melting. You may be able to see the water flowing in this video. You will certainly hear the wind.When I had gotten down most of the way towards the Visitor Center I turned to go out on the "Glacier Outwash Trail". Perhaps Donna was still out there after coming back from the trail to the edge. A short distance along a couple of women came the other way and said that a bear had been seen near there. Even though they also said that a Ranger was checking and that the bear was moving up the hillside, I decided I would not continue that way.
When I got back to the Visitor Center Donna was sitting on a bench outside safe and sound.
