Silky Shadows. Radiant Reflections. Browsing Bear. Can it get any better?
This is one of my favorite days in Glacier. The reflections. The colors. And that one bear that only shared his presence with me!

From Sapporo to Montana. Delica was made for Glacier!
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.
Misty mountain tops and the quest for Hill’s lost cabins.
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.
A taste of silence – solace for the soul. St Mary Lake, as I will never see it again.
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.
My cabin in the aspens. The poor man’s Fortress of Solitude.
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???
Hiking an old favorite. Wild flowers LOVE July rain!
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.
Day of hiking, or on the water? A wonderful first-world dilemma!
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).
Storm chasing with Deli. Here be dragons!
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!
Many Glacier Valley sleeps. The real sound of silence.
Never thought I would hike the famed Iceberg Lake and see NO PEOPLE on the shores and pass less that fifty on the ten mile round trip. Even in the Great Northern horse pack saddle days there would have been a steady string of tourist. A step back in time!
The Way of Water – 4th of July in Glacier Park!
The only way to spend the 4th of July – Glacier Style! An amazing July day to be one of the few boats on long and lovely Upper St Mary Lake. But I’ll take EVERYTHING I can get!
