    Being involved with Citizen Science and such, I find out about cool ways to help out the NPS and USGS scientists learn more about the animals and ecology of Glacier National Park. Migrations are happening from late summer on. Many raptors really start showing up here around the middle of October. If you happen to…

    So I couldn’t let January pass without a blog. While it all looks calm on the surface, I’m working on some really cool things underneath. I’ve been spending a lot of my time working for the Glacier National Park Conservancy as they get ramped up as a combined organization that used to be the Glacier…

    ***Updated setup here! One of the greatest challenges of being a backpacking photographer/videographer is how to haul around your DSLR in a way that’s relatively comfortable and accessible. I hiked over 1,200 miles in Glacier National Park with my DSLR Camera setup (which I blogged about) using a couple of great pieces from ThinkTank Photo.…

    I love it when families get out and hike together. Steve Ollig sent me his blog on Glacier National Park. This was actually when his family went in 2009, but he’s been using my blog as a “fix” until he can get back. C’mon back Steve! You can visit Steve’s Blog here: http://smollig.blogspot.com/search/label/Glacier%20National%20Park If you…
