9/22 to 10/8/2016 – The Idaho Batholith is a large granitic intrusion that forms the mountains at the heart of the Idaho Hot Springs route. The igneous intrusion that formed the Sawtooths, the Salmon River Mountains and most of the rest of central Idaho’s high country also fuel the hot springs that are so prevalent throughout […]
Read more "Idaho Hot Springs… Round 2"8/15/2016 – While on a relaxing week-long tip to the old family cabin on Lake Chelan, Grete and I decided we had to get out into the Cascades for a day… Being that the Enchantments were only an hour or so away, and I had only seen the area under the cover of snow, it seemed like […]
Read more "The Enchantments Traverse"6/26 to 8/11/2016 – Well here goes another round of photos that happen to only be a couple of months behind! Since the last update, we’d began to hit our summer stride and hopped out on a couple of classic run/hike/jikes. Grete and I had a deuzy of a day on our first trip into the […]
Read more "The Busy Part of the Summer of 2016…"6/12 to 6/13/2016 – Another overnighter bikepacking trip from earlier this summer was this excellent trip with both Grete and Burket! Grete and I were itching to get out on our beloved tandem and Burket was needing to break in his new (to him) Karate Monkey so we loaded them up and headed out! We […]
Read more "The Red Meadow 100(ish)"5/29 to 5/30, 2016 – Earlier in the summer, I had the opportunity to get out on a couple of sweet overnighter bike rides. Of course the photos are a couple months late, but here is another quick posting! This lovely little loop ride travels from Whitefish and wanders along mostly dirt backroads out to Island Lake, then […]
Read more "The Island Lake Loop"3/22 to 3/25/2016 – Being that we live so close to the border, Grete and I had a major Canadian itch to scratch this last ski season. We wanted to get our feet wet with Canadian ski traversing and hoped to get to see some gigantic glaciers too! Thankfully, we had friends (Anthony and Becca) […]
Read more "The Yoho Traverse"2/1 to 3/13/16 – Again, I’ve gotten behind on the blog. The reason for this delay is that good friends, plentiful adventures and great weather have forced me outside and away from my computer… schucks! Well, here goes another little posting about a whole bunch of wonderful wanderings out in the woods from mid-season this […]
Read more "Mid-Winter Goodness"2/13 to 2/15/2016 – After a solid month of routine work, skiing, eating and sleeping Grete and I were needing something to change it up. With Valentine’s Day coming up, I booked Yurtski’s Lupine yurt in the southern Swan Range for the weekend. As plans evolved (in the last couple days before the trip) we ended […]
Read more "Will You Be My Valentine at Yurtski?"5/10-11 & 24-25/2015 – Well, I just realized that I lost track of time and photos (as often happens) and hadn’t posted these photos from a couple of wonderful trips up to the Sperry Glacier last spring… I got the awesome opportunity to volunteer up on Sperry Glacier in Glacier National Park for the USGS doing […]
Read more "Sperry Glacier"12/1/2015 to 1/31/2016 – It was a mighty unusual transition back from Costa Rica’s hot, humid, sun-filled tropical climate to NW Montana’s cold, grey, snow-filled winter one… but we were really excited to be home again. We were easily distracted from our climatic concerns by the thing we missed the most while adventuring: our beloved big white […]
