Howard and i almost bumped into this Ram rounding a blind corner. We were making noise for bears, but Big Horn Sheep are affected.

 

This was my first time on this hike. Everything Howard did yesterday was a first.

Have never seen GNP like this before. What a different perspective.

Nearing Logan Pass. Like 400 meters from the summit. First significant wildlife sighting.

 

As we climbed Going-To-The-Sun Road, we were rewarded in ways that impressed even me.

Rest is under-rated

Disney App for Cast Members
The thought of going to Disney World the day after Glacier seemed exciting. It’s not gonna happen.

 

Rest is under-rated.

Reminded of how ineffective i am compared to a rested me.

Never get bored with the basics.

Go to bed early, wake up early (and fully rested).

Then get more done in the first few hours of a new day then most do in the whole day.

Don’t judge by appearances, but know that appearances, almost always, tell a powerful story.
