Made it about four miles in the rental car before realizing i will never make it to Siyeh Bend in time to meet Colin and his friend to climb Going To The Sun Mountain. It was 9:00AM when i was given a sign to turn around and hike Ptarmigan Tunnel trail.
Parked in front of my Motor Inn room and proceeded 100 meters to the Ptarmigan Tunnel trailhead.
The 5.5 miles uphill from Swiftcurrent Motor Inn to Ptarmigan Tunnel took 150 minutes.
Spent another hour and one more mile walking past the Tunnel’s East side.
The 5.5 miles downhill from Ptarmigan Tunnel to Swiftcurrent Motor Inn took only 90 minutes.
The descent felt great and my body was asking for 20 minutes of stretching. It had been quite an unplanned workout from the quick pace, facilitated by an empty trail and the adrenaline from making a driving mistake.
It was awesome. The stretching, not the mistake.

The rain was generally light enough be able to walk outside without getting soaked.
Had Djuan at the airport by noon yesterday.
Now that he’s spent two incredible days exploring Glacier National Park, what is he going to do next?
And i quote, “I’m going to Disney World!“
Djuan is focused on physical wellbeing, like me, and it was an honor for me that he spent his time here with the busy schedule he keeps as a world-traveler and Vice President of Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Happy 54th birthday dude!
