Return to Goat Mountain. How befitting for …. a Goat? …. Boy?
It had been a few years. The summit of Goat Mtn is as lonely as ever and unchanged since the last visit. Just the way I like to find them.
and so much more
I love Glacier National Park. Worked there as a college student in 1985 and 1986. AND recently again in 2021. Talk about coming full circle. This category is dedicated to the place I hold dearest in the world. Enjoy my tales of agony and ecstasy.

With the access to the famed Many Glacier Valley all but sealed off, I get a rare chance to hike a popular trail almost alone. Except for all of the beargrass (and bears).
The first tours of 2025 were a little under the weather, but things picked up quickly as they always do!
Get ready! Lots of stories from the summer of 2025 from Goatboy! And how he learned the Way of the Water!
Covid? Bed Bugs? Kung Fu Panda? Maybe. But definitely a dumpster fire. GoatBoy survives four nights in Bangkok, and he never leaves Glacier Park.
Red Buses. Why do people love them so much? For all kinds of reasons. But if you ever wake one up for the summer, it’s hard to hold back the grin. And…. many hands make light work.
Ugh. Onboarding. Every summer, the same thing. But once I get my seasonal badge, the keys to the Forbidden City will be mine again for three months. It’s worth it.
An unexpected day off leads to an unpredictable experience—one that had been a long time coming. Yet, in the end, it was no surprise at all. It had been part of my personal journey all along.
Looking for the perfect beginning of the season early hike. 2 miles? 2 hours? 2k? Ah! Snow Moon and Fallen Leaf lakes, of course!
I’ve been coming to the Park for 40 years. And I have never been up on Logan Pass on the day it opened for the season. While looking down on tourists from a badass Japanese minivan.
