Swiftcurrent Valley, day 4, home

On Swiftcurrent Trail. The top of Swiftcurrent Glacier on horizon. There is a series of small lakes along the several miles of valley-level trail before the ascent up to Swiftcurrent Pass.

This valley was carved by glaciers.

This general, easy public access has only happened since 1910.

Before that, think “ jurassic park”.

Earth is roughly 4.5 billion years old.

We only gained public access to this space a century ago.

Try to wrap your head around that.

Ps. It’s impossible.
