Climbing Mt. Grinnell
—
by
Mt. Grinnell stands tall between two incredible drainages in the Many Glacier area of Glacier National Park. While not on the Garden Wall, the easiest way to access it is from the Lake McDonald side via the Grinnell Glacier Overlook. I did so with my wife, Kristen, and my buddy Blake Passmore of Climb Glacier…

Pitamakan Dawson 2014
—
by
The loop in Glacier National Park that travels through both Pitamakan Pass and Dawson Pass is one of my favorites, if not my very favorite. One is almost guaranteed to see big game, gorgeous lakes, four separate drainages and a ridge walk that’s unparalleled in the Park. The excuse was a mountain goat survey, as…

Otokomi Lake 2014

by
Snuck out to the St. Mary area to hike to the beautiful Otokomi Lake. The hike up bounces between Rose Creek which starts out of view, then bubbles and pools right next to the trail. As you gain elevation, Rose Creek gives way to nice views of Goat Mountain. Once again the birds were singing…

Apgar Lookout – Early 2014
—
by
At the end of April, decided to check out Apgar Lookout. The road to the trailhead was surprisingly open and the trail snow free for the first 2/3 of the trip. Loads of birds, sunshine and views! Special Note: If you decide to hike to Apgar this early, make sure you have snowshoes and/or crampons…
