Let's try this again. Pics from Sept. Restarted my trip after aborting the first day due to forecasted amount of snow, I was in trail runners. Not much better the next day at a different TH.

First pic is looking down Cosley Lake. Second, looking across Elizabeth Lake. Third, of the Belly River at the cable crossing where trail then goes to Elizabeth. Pic with my shelter is at Mokowanis Lake. Fifth pic looking down the shore line is Glenns Lake. Sixth is looking down the valley where most of the lakes were. Steep pic with the sheep is the trail up from Many Glacier TH, that is where I originally started. Then a pic of the sign by Chief Mt border crossing, where I started the second attempt. Lots of muck in the trail, blaze on. Last two pics are of the north side and south side of the Ptarmigan Tunnel. The forecast was for more snow than I cared to deal with if it was still there five days later since I was in trail runners. I ended up getting a new permit and only camping four nights. I have issues posting pics here, too long between postings to recall the sequence.

No problem, plus I was headed out yesterday afternoon to go snow camoping.
