Category: GNP 2025 – The Way of Water

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).

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 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!

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.

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.
