    Feature Friday – John Gendron

    Last year at Fall for Glacier, I was visiting with some folks in the lobby of the Glacier Lodge in East Glacier. Upon recognizing my voice from my blogs, a couple of guys came up to me to say hello, tell me they read my blog and hopefully get some advice about their hiking trip…

  • Looking for Moose

    Looking for Moose

    On Memorial Day my wife and I headed out to the Many Glacier valley in search of moose. My wife loves moose and, even though I was just there, I wanted to walk the Bullhead Lake trail to see if we could see a moose and check out how fast the snow was melting, besides,…

    Many Glacier in May – 2013

    As soon as roads start opening up in Glacier National Park, it’s fun to head on out and see what’s going on. In places like Many Glacier, you’ll find no crowds and animals that are looking for food as the long winter releases its icy grip. You’ll also find more snow than you probably were…

  • Easter Weekend 2013

    Easter Weekend 2013

    I’m getting antsy for hiking with all of the beautiful weather we’ve been having so my wife and I headed up to Glacier National Park again on Saturday of Easter weekend. While we didn’t see anything big (although we did see wolf, bear and moose tracks) we saw lots of beautiful scenery and loads of…

    Akamina Lake – Waterton Lakes National Park

    Kishenehn

    Tucked away in the remote northwestern corner of Glacier National Park is an area known as Kishenehn. Before the North Fork Road existed, a road/trail existed on the east bank of the North Fork Flathead River (now known as the Inside North Fork Road) that went from the Belton Train Station all the way up…

  • Grinnell Glacier

    Grinnell Glacier

    (For an updated and sunnier version of Grinnell Glacier, click here.) The Many Glacier area of Glacier National Park contains many classic (and popular) hikes. One of these gems is the hike up to Grinnell Glacier. Round trip, the hike is about 10 miles long with a gain of about 2,000 feet. It’s completely worth…

  • Trout Lake

    Trout Lake

    In the drainage just north of Lake McDonald lies the Camas Creek drainage. I’ve titled this as Trout Lake as this is the most famous feature in the area and the name of the trailhead that is the most popular way to access this remote and infamous* area of Glacier National Park. From the trailhead,…

  • Swiftcurrent Pass and Swiftcurrent Lookout

    Swiftcurrent Pass and Swiftcurrent Lookout

    For a sunny day version of this trip, click here. The trip up and over Swiftcurrent Pass from Granite Park Chalet to the Swiftcurrent Inn in the Many Glacier valley (with a side trip up to the Swiftcurrent Lookout) is rich with views and wildlife. Unfortunately for this trip, I experienced limited views and limited…
