24-AUG-2011 Lauren the wrangler

This was our last day at Glacier National Park. Ginny wanted to have a horse ride so we booked an all day affair that went up to Cracker Lake for lunch. I have been on a horse only once before. I have to say that six hours in the saddle were a little hard to take, but the scenery was real nice. We saw a moose on the trail within about 50 feet, which was a nice bonus. Our lunch was on a rock overlooking the lake, a terrific place to sit and watch. All in all, it was a lot of fun; however, we were both a bit sore after the escapade. If we ever ride horses again, I would opt for the half day trip.

Don't know much about horses. I would imagine they had to be pretty stout if they were going to be carrying the likes of me for six hours.

Those look like some pretty stout horses!

Ginny likes riding. I have to let you know that as a Texan I am completely comfortable in a pick up truck.

Ginny looks completely at home though.

Your Texas citizenship will be revoked if you if you let this get public. A Texan not happy on a horse !!
