Hiking to Firebrand Pass with the Daily Inter Lake
—
by
(Read the article of the interview in the Daily Inter Lake here) Leaf peeping isn’t just something one does on the Eastern Seaboard. When the aspens change over, their golden leaves shimmer in the sunlight in a jawdropping spectacle. Be quick, however, for the change of colors on the east side of Glacier National Park,…
Pitamakan Pass 2024
—
by
Pitamakan Pass in the Two Medicine area of Glacier National Park straddles two gorgeous drainages filled with stunning lakes and craggy peaks… oh and the huckleberries can be really good too! We rolled up to the trailhead at Pray Lake as the sun was coming over the horizon. Armed with a scope, tripod, and binoculars,…
Lake Francis Backpack 2024
—
by
After taking a boat down from Waterton to Goat Haunt, we backpacked to the stunning Lake Francis for a quick overnighter. With the tall walls of The Sentinel towering overhead and a lovely waterfall feeding the lake, it’s a perfect spot to get away. Loon Days occur around the third week in July every year.…
Highline Trail – 2024
—
by
When the word was out that the Highline Trail was open, we heard the trail calling. It had been awhile since we’d hiked Glacier National Park’s epic stroll, so we gathered our packs to the high country for wildflowers, wildlife, and epic views all day. There’s something very cool about driving up to the Continental…
Lincoln Lake 2024
—
by
Since the last time I’ve hiked Lincoln Lake in Glacier National Park (over 13 years ago), a forest fire came through. The result is a hike that’s teeming with life and views looking to the surrounding mountains. While it’s still not a top ten hike, the changed landscape makes this a much more enjoyable hike…
Numa Ridge Lookout – 2024
—
by
A lovely flower and bird-filled forested ridge takes you up to a perch where Numa Ridge Lookout gives striking views of Bowman Lake and craggy summits like Rainbow Peak. We headed up to the lookout to do a bighorn sheep/mountain goat survey as part of Glacier National Park’s citizen science project and spied two goats…
Quartz Lake Loop and Looning 2024
—
by
We wanted to go for a hike in Glacier National Park and the citizen science office needed Common Loon surveys done along the chain of lakes in the Quartz Creek drainage. So we set off to find some loons in Quartz Lake, Middle Quartz Lake, and Lower Quartz Lake. We found a lone loon in…
The Clowny Ducks
—
by
“I’ve got two ducks” cracked the radio. “I’m on my way” I replied back to Ava. We were leapfrogging each other as we worked up McDonald Creek to always have eyes on the water as we surveyed up for this small, charismatic Harlequin Duck. Each spring, the ducks begin their unique west-to-east migration from the…
Apgar Lookout Spring 2024
—
by
With the trail being on a south-facing slope, Apgar Lookout is the easiest way to get some elevation in Glacier National Park in the spring. The forecast called for a bluebird day, so we packed our lunches and hit the trail for a lovely spring warmup. Even if Going-to-the-Sun Road was open all the way…
