Kootenai Lakes, Goat Haunt, MT USA
9 km. (5.6 miles)
With Doug, Cheril and Jonathon, Grandma and Bampa, Ethan, Lorali, Owen, Doug and JJ.
We boarded The International at 10 and enjoyed an hour boat trip down to the head of the lake and trail. Everyone loves the boat! Beautiful day after a heavy rainstorm last night. Wet trail but very shady and cool temps. The kids didn't complain at all and were practically running up the trail! When we got to the lake there were 3 moose (1 bull, 2 cows) in it! We enjoyed lunch and then a calf came into the waters with the others. It was amazing how close they were and they didn't even care we were there. This was a perfect hike for the kids!! The end of the hike we saw a bald eagle nesting pair on the boat ride back. It was a great last hike of the season for Doug, who heads home this weekend.
