Back to Glacier, body

Tradition.
34-second video: Avalanche Lake. Luckily the rain was light and brief.
Returned from Avalanche Lake hike to witness this from the Lodge’s parking lot while in our rental van.

Have had the privilege to bicycle the 15 miles one-way from Avalanche Creek to Logan Pass. More than once. And also once with Chapin. Never with Cheryl. Until this trip. Bicycling when Sun Road is closed is Magical. No vehicular traffic is allowed past Avalanche Creek’s sizable parking areas. Why? Snow. Going-to-the-Sun Road and Logan Pass don’t open to vehicular traffic until mid-June to as late as mid-July.

The Lodge’s double front lobby doors are generally open.

Even when not directly in the entrance they are not far.

Peaceful sleep even at a hotel’s entrance.

They have found their comfort zone.

Hoping today’s photos are the catalyst for the first of many Summer Glacier posts.

September 1, 2025, body

person and two dogs on grass hill
L-R: me, Goldy, Hunter: Goldy and Hunter are ‘Rez dogs’. Their owners live near the Lodge. The dogs hang out at the Lodge all Summer. The 1.5 million acre Blackfeet Nation surrounds the Lodge and borders the Park.

Simple things are timeless.

Rest.

Reflection.

Restoration.

The photo: Late afternoon. Warm. Calm. Peaceful. Goldy and Hunter were napping. So i joined them. Cheryl was watching a wedding on the Lodge’s backside (the side facing the Park’s mountains).

Planning Glacier

My planning strength is “what is the goal and why is that important?”

My planning nemesis is planning the details.

Glacier 2025, body

Home pool app
Water temperature is 83. When it’s 84, i can muster the courage to sit on an inner tube.

West Glacier and Swiftcurrent aren’t options this year. Both offered the best pricing.
