    My buddy Blake Passmore of Climb Glacier National Park and I couldn’t resist a beautiful sunny day and headed out to the mountains. We ended up hiking part way up a mountain called Riverview that overlooks the North Fork Flathead River just outside of the Park on Demers Ridge. We’re also stoked to be part…

    Winter can feel like such a time of desolation. Many birds have flown away, squirrels hibernate, days are shorter and flowers seem to be a distant memory. For me, it’s a time to prepare for next season. Just like the snow falling on the mountains to make for nourishing water for the summer, I try…

    I can’t remember the first TED event that I watched online, but I can safely say that I became enamored instantly. I can’t even count how many I’ve watched since then.

    I was getting mail the other day and saw this guy (or gal) fly past me on a mission. It found what it was looking for in the form of a House Sparrow (RIP). This Sharp-shinned Hawk proceeded to hang around my house and my gut tells me that it wasn’t too interested in my…
