Day 11 CCL, body

mountains in the clouds
Weather is part of the experience. We are big fans of sunshine. Yet we easily accept hiking on cloudy days.
11-second video: Transition from forest to alpine. Another 1.5 miles to the Pass.

Our Eastern and Northern view from Piegan Pass. This photo doesn’t reveal the wind nor cold.

Physically, what heights are possible?

Day 10 CCL, body

Honeymoon couple by Mountain Lake
June and July you can see five waterfalls. Here in September, only two
15-second video: Sperry Glacier feeds these two water falls.

Knowing the seasonal layers, we are even more in awe (than a first time visitor) at Glacier’s one-million acres.

Knowing the seasonal changes happen, and have happened forever, is mind blowing.

Seeing firsthand the dramatic seasonal contrasts from daily visits is humbling.

It’s humbling because consuming ‘the experience’ through social media is remarkably less intense than experiencing it (‘boots on the ground’) for months at a time.

Note: This ‘insight’ transfers to every situation, place, person.

Hey look, we spotted a cool mushroom.
water-carved rock mountain creek
In September, Avalanche Creek (here), and all Glacier’s water features are a small fraction of peak snowmelt flow in June and July.
18-second video: Didn’t notice any mushrooms hiking up. Noticed them everywhere hiking down.

What do you dream of?

Why?

In our cabin on the adjoining cabin circle.
apple watch at trailhead
The day after Chapin flew home, a local employee and I submitted Oberlin. This is the ‘unmarked’ trailhead.
foggy mountain
The fog, at it’s lightest (here) gives glimpses a couple hundred feet away.
low clouds on mountain
Once on the saddle, above the western-side clouds, we can see ‘above the clouds. The eastern side is completed fogged in.
14-second video: One of the most unique Mt Oberlin summits ever. To the right, the eastern side. To the left, western.

It’s not the restricted view, it’s the knowledge that the clouds will clear.
