Akokala Lake, Glacier NP

A view of Akokala Lake at nautical twilight. The Livingston Range is in the background (and reflected in the lake). To the right is Numa Ridge. The peak in the far distance is Kintla Peak at 10,092 feel, and Reuter Peak on the left. Akokala Lake spots at about 4,750 feet.

View from my backcountry campsite at Akokala Lake on the North Fork of the Flathead side of Glacier. Kintla Peak (10,092') is in the far distance, with Reuter Peak closer in. I was the only one at camp, and by the looks of it, the first to stay overnight this year.

I'm still recovering post bronchitis and planned this shorter (5.8 mi each way) hike, since I could mote readily pace myself on foot then cycling. The trail was extremely muddy about a third of the way and then tied in with my first overnighter of the year, I'm feeling it today, but hey, my lungs are still moving the right direction, so that's something.
