Any Glaciers around here?

It’s a 10-mile hike to stand next to Sperry Glacier, with 3,500′ elevation gain. And 10 miles back.

There are only a few Glaciers you can stand next to that are possibly within access: Sperry, Grinnell, and Swiftcurrent.

Have touched all three. Multiple times.

Blessed.

Sperry in 2026?

Time will tell.

It’s 6.5 miles with 3,400′ elevation gain, one way.

Always has been.

We always graciously do it.

Adventure awaits in 2026.

But first, it’s time for this morning’s walk and no-gym gym workout.

While walking, the exercise facilitates thinking, dreaming, planning.

Thinking, dreaming, planning are key to fueling my growth mindset.

Goodness comes to those who watch

8-second video: Close is the bear family. Distant is the horizon. The horizon looks closer than it is because everything here is massive.

The video above was not teed up to have a pine in the foreground. You know why it’s there? It’s because we were retreating to keep a non-threatening distance with momma bear. And when i turned around, it was ‘in the way’ of me trying to capture the family. Turned out decently magical.
