Odds favor the prepared

Mountains
Piegan Glacier. The enormity of the landscape can make a large glacier seem small. 

Ample parking blessed us at Siyeh Bend. Just two miles west at Logan Pass, parking is a painful circus. Demand crushes availability. From 6am-4pm. 

(Had Siyeh Bend parking been full, we would continue our plan to hike Scenic Point trail in Two Medicine.)

Weather was trending warmer yet we started with maximum layers. 

Time would tell how the higher elevation winds would treat us.

Roll with it

Mountain
This is a path less traveled. 
  • We seek remote, solitude, privacy. 
  • Sinopah. Signature, iconic Two Medicine mountain.
Glacier National Park.

Crowds in general and overcrowded roads, parking lots, and trails specifically are the new, extended normal. 

Roll with it. 

Search further. 

Go deeper. 

Enjoy.

If these walls could talk

Watch iOD 8 update
The Motel wifi is just ok. The lodging enterprise’s RV Park front office has good wifi. 

After wifi, location is next most important, then price. 

This year’s setup admirably enables all three – unbelievable considering the one-million acre National Park that’s 400 meters away.

Are you vibrant?

Mountain
Mt Clements and the Logan Pass visitor’s center. Yesterday. Freedom to pause. Freedom to do nothing. 

We hiked up Lunch Creek about a mile. The terrain, elevation and elevation gain, the entirely rugged trail – not your typical 60-something “grandparent” activity. 

Typical is not vibrant. 

Vibrant is not typical. 

You’re in charge of your health – what a blessing and responsibility.

Looks fine from here

Blue sky with two small buildings
9AM yesterday in West Glacier. Weather looks fine from here.
  • 10:15AM yesterday at Logan Pass.
  • 800 meters from Logan Pass
Glacier Park

Weather can change fast and unpredictably. In today’s photos it went from gorgeous to snow, to gorgeous.

From gorgeous to threatening within minutes. We know this. i’ve learned the hard way.

Do not let what you cannot do stop you from what you can do. Often, luck favors the prepared.
