    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…

    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…

    Headed up to Numa Ridge Lookout on a fine June day with my wife and TJ Fallon. The weather threatened, but never followed through and gave us wonderful clouds to compliment the views from the top.

    Scenic Point – 7.9mi / 12.7km Scenic Point is an aptly named hike in the Two Medicine area. The hike starts out in some scrappy pines and follows Appistoki Creek up the drainage. You mercilessly gain elevation, but quickly access great views right after a bird’s eye view of Appistoki Falls. As you head up,…

    McDonald Creek – 5mi / 8km McDonald Creek is a whitewater creek that chatters and bubbles its way down to Lake McDonald. It is a relatively level trail that can be done early in the spring all the way into late fall. From the trailhead, you enter a lush rain forest with tall cedars towering…

    Rockwell Falls – 6.6mi / 10.7km Rockwell Falls is a great low angle hike in the Two Medicine area that gains approximately 300 feet on the way to a beautiful waterfall. The hike parallels the shoreline of Two Medicine Lake, but spends most of its time in the trees and meadows, all with occasional views…
