Glacier National Park Diet. Walking with a purpose.
Original Post 11/14/21
It felt like I should include the final hiking log for my Glacier experience this summer. My numbers will be a little light because off trail miles were harder to calculate. Elevation was also tricky if I had some big dips (i.e. with Bearhat Mtn, I had to gain to the Hidden Lake Overlook, then a big drop, then start the actually climb higher yet). But I err on the conservative side if there was any doubt. Yeah, like I needed to pad the numbers….. 🙂
So here is the summary block. I even tracked shuttle miles and how much gas I burned for moving just a couple hundred people for two months:
