Closing out the blog category. What a wild ride.
Summary of my summer hiking at GNP in the format of my annual Xmas newsletter.
Category: GNP 2021 – 62-Day-Diet
I worked as an employee shuttle driver on the West Side at GNP in 2021. In 62 days, I drove 10,500 shuttle miles while only transporting 270 (total) people, hiked 451 miles, climbed 114,000 feet of gain, summited 21 peaks, lost 28 pounds, and sang ‘Don’t Go Breaking My Heart’ as a duet in a karaoke bar with another man. I LOVE stuff I can’t make up.
Glacier National Park Diet. Walking with a purpose.
A great little summary of the hikes and climbs I did last summer in Glacier National Park.
Legends of the Fall – Glacier Park in October
Nancy and I take and October weekend to take one last pass thru Glacier National Park before winter.
The Rise of Jammer Dave – Origin Story. Not all superheros need capes.
I take a day to drive a Jammer for the first time in prep for next year. Finally, I get a little taste of the dream.

Meet the cast that made my Glacier summer of 2021 so enjoyable.
♫♫ Homeward bound ♫♫ And what I learned this summer.
Lessons learned are always fun. Come explore some of the things I learned about myself (an others) during Glacier Summer 2021.
Grinnell Glacier Overlook. Last hike of the season. So bittersweet.
The Grinnell Glacier overlooks is a major hike from Logan Pass. Add blowing snow and crazy cold weather.
Heavy Runner Mountain. It’s not the summit. It’s the journey.
Climbing Heavy Runner mountain, but saving the last 40 feet to the summit for future hiking partners (and a rope, helmet, and repelling harness.)
One lake, two lake, steep cliffs and more! Wet boot misery at Snyder.
I take a trip to upper Snyder Lake. Amazing remote for being so close to a very high traffic tourist trail.
Jackson Glacier Overlook. So much NOT overlook.
Went for a nice hike to the Blackfoot Glacier complex. Turned back by a mother grizzly and her cub. Life to climb another day.
