We spent Saturday, September 29, exploring West Glacier National Park. 
Snow at the higher elevations closed the main Going-to-the-Sun Road at Avalanche, so we drove out to there, parked and enjoyed a fine walk on the Trail of the Cedars, a very nicely interpreted brief and easy nature trail.

The mill, which seems to be a locally popular stopping and walking place, was located an easy half m
