Red Eagle Lake 2014
—
by
The birding and botany on the trail to Red Eagle Lake is pretty hard to beat in Glacier National Park. Mid-July is a wonderful time for the trip and I struck out on the trail for an overnighter. My goal was the lake to do a Common Loon survey and a Mountain Goat survey while…
Freezout Lake 2016
—
by
Freezout Lake near Fairfield, Montana serves as a stopover location for approximately 300,000 Snow Geese every March towards the end of the month. Whether or not your a birder, this spectacle is incredible. The birds spend the nights on the ponds and the days refueling by gleaning barley from the nearby fields. From there, they…
Gunsight Pass 2016
—
by
The long and wonderful hike over Gunsight Pass in Glacier National Park is traditionally done as a two day backpacking trip (or a nice stay at the alpine Sperry Chalet), but we decided to tackle it as an incredible day hike. It was a perfect day full of blue skies, stunning lakes, waterfalls, wildflowers, and…

Mt. Hunt Divide via Open Canyon
—
by
Mt. Hunt Divide via Open Canyon – 15.1mi / 24.3km For those in search of solitude, this wooded canyon is one of the least explored in the area. This trail starts in a lush forest, and crosses many feeder streams as it works its way up. The forest gradually gives way to more open landscapes…
Mt Brown Lookout 2022
—
by
As the snow continues to recede, we’ve been finding more places to hike for views. We headed up the Sperry Trail and took the trail to Mt Brown Lookout. In the past, trees obscured much of the views as you steeply climbed, but the burn from a couple of years ago has really improved the…
Climbing Mt Jackson 2022
—
by
Of all of Glacier National Park’s sublime summits, only six of them crest over the 10,000 foot mark. Mt Jackson, with its long, rounded ridge is one of those summits and it is as rewarding as it is a long grind. While you could (and probably should) break it up into two days by camping…
Mono Pass
—
by
Mono Pass – 8.3mi / 13.4km Bubbling creeks, lovely alpine meadows, pocket lakes, craggy ridgelines, and a dash of history make this a wonderful day with optional bonus side trips. The trail wanders through a mix of forest and flower-filled meadows. It crosses Dana Fork which may get your feet wet during higher water flow.…
