and so much more
Glacier has it all. Kind of a catch-all post with just a snippet of the really weird things you see in Glacier Park on a daily basis. You don’t have to be a Red Bus driver, you just need to look around.
Access to Divide Mtn requires a tribal permit, Four Wheel Drive, and a lot of knee cartilage, given it’s just plain straight up and straight down in under a mile with big gain.
This is one of my favorite days in Glacier. The reflections. The colors. And that one bear that only shared his presence with me!
It is hard to believe my Delica spent 25 years as a ski shuttle for a couple of months a year on the slopes of Japan’s northern island. But it has taken to its new home and summers in Montana without missing a beat.
Being close to St. Mary Lake has advantages. Like being able to hit that early-morning burn-off before there are any people (or wind) to contend with.
This was an almost spiritual trip on the water. If I had put in 30 minutes later, I would have missed these once-in-a-lifetime morning clouds.
I wax and wane over this crappy little cabin about once every other season. There is nothing to it. Simple, a little beat up, needs some caulk and stain. But then again, don’t we all???
Piegan Pass and Cataract Mountain are my go-to spots on a mid-season afternoon. And the summer rains really manufactured a nice batch of wildflowers this season.
I have had a strong pull towards the water this summer. So much so that I’m starting to like it more than hiking. And it is sooooo much easier on the knees (not so much on the hips).
Sometimes I don’t really know what I want to do on a day off until I turn the key and just see where the Delica takes me. Still a great day in Glacier!
