Day 1: Drive to the park, midday picnic at the White River Campground. We find that it closed on Sept 30 and we would need to use our alternate campground
 

Here's Dave with a Turkey sandwich and a map of the park. He is probably working on the hike plan for following day.

Camping in October means the campgrounds are less crowded, No neighbors = Good!
 

Day 2: Hike from the White River Campground to Glacier Basin ...more


 

Fall colors with Burroughs Mountain backdrop

The trail was in great condition. It's used by hikers ascending the summit via the Camp Schurman route.
 

Lunch by the trail
Triscuit with cheese and home- smoked salmon.
Oh, and a bottle of beer!
 

Selfie in the White River riverbed.
This would be underwater in the spring.

Here's a telephoto shot of the bottom of Emmons Glacier.
I have no idea how large those waterfalls really are.
 

We were about 5 miles away
