Feature Friday – Blake Passmore
โ
by
I’d like to formally introduce you to Blake Passmore. Blake is super fun, a big personality and an overall great guy. He is indefatigable and is out there climbing peaks in Glacier National Park and diligently documenting them so that others might enjoy them. What most people don’t see is the countless hours of putting…

Looking for Moose
โ
by
On Memorial Day my wife and I headed out to the Many Glacier valley in search of moose. My wife loves moose and, even though I was just there, I wanted to walk the Bullhead Lake trail to see if we could see a moose and check out how fast the snow was melting, besides,…

Anniversary in Canada
โ
by
When trying to figure out where to go and what to do for our anniversary, Kristen said, “Would you mind if I just planned something and surprised you?”. I love surprises and am not the greatest planner, so I jumped on it with the caveat that next year, I would do the planning. So last…

A Day of Beginnings
โ
by
Everyone has days in their lives that hold significance such as birthdays, anniversaries, graduation, the passing of loved ones. They are days to reflect on milestones, life changing events and loved ones. For me, one of the biggest is May 17th. On May 17th, 2011, I started my hiking project along McDonald Creek. It was…

My presentations are more of the story behind the adventure as a whole. This coming Tuesday, I’m speaking again, this…

Many Glacier in May – 2013
โ
by
As soon as roads start opening up in Glacier National Park, it’s fun to head on out and see what’s going on. In places like Many Glacier, you’ll find no crowds and animals that are looking for food as the long winter releases its icy grip. You’ll also find more snow than you probably were…

Howe Lake Looning
โ
by
The harried nature of migrations is waning here in the north and things are beginning to settle in. Snow is melting, flowers are breaking ground and bears are emerging. Birds are establishing their territories, building nests and looking to make little ones in their image. It’s for this last reason that we headed up to…

Feature Friday – TJ Fallon
โ
by
One of the greatest things about my project has been the people that I’ve met. TJ followed me on my journey in 2011 and contacted me about hitting the trail together. We ended up finally hiking together on Loon Day last year where we ended up seeing 8 loons (6 all together in Trout Lake). This…
