Swift Drift Down the River

Breakfast at the KOA. Can you spot Dad?


We know how to have breakfast in style.


Driving up to the newly opened Logan Pass, we came across a few of these beautiful waterfalls.



This particular waterfall doubled up as a car wash.


Can you make out the road carved into the side of the mountain?


They hadn't quite freed the visitor centre from the snow when we got up there. They'd just carved a pathway so that it could actually be used.



After driving up to Logan Pass in the morning, we took a Scenic Float and Dinner raft trip.


Rocking the windswept look. Don't they look glamourous?



Our guide told us about how the swifts make their nests in the side of this bank (if you can just make out the holes). We watched the birds swoop in and out of them for a while.


Is that Mum or Dad? It looks like Mum but the hat is very misleading.


Another glamourous shot of Mum and Sophie. What a beautiful backdrop as well.


The water looks calm but there were actually quite large waves which would eventually make us very wet.


Just after this bridge, we stopped for our steak and chicken dinner. We had chocolate brownie with cappucino cream for dessert.


Us all standing around, letting the young tour guide do all the work.


Sophie pretending to be Kala.


Fresh elk tracks in the sand.


Also along the river we saw a coyote on the river bank watching us. We drifted down the river for 10 miles (it really didn't feel like we went that far).
