Sperry Glacier

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 […]

Winter So Far…

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 […]

Late Summer Adventures

Well, Grete and I have still been avidly adventuring… enough to keep me off the internet and away from my blog… but it seemed like time for another post!  Covered in this little blurb from our lives is a most excellent run from Lake McDonald Lodge to the Jackson Glacier Overlook over Gunsight Pass in […]

Cycling GTTS Road

4/19/2015 – Glacier National Park offers its visitors one heck of a special experience during early spring by opening the legendarily beautiful Going-To-The-Sun-Road up to cyclists and hikers (only) while they are plowing it out.  The road, which crosses Logan Pass, is one of the few to penetrate deep into GNP’s alpine core.  It offers visitors stunning […]

Another Traverse

3/29/15 – Well, another birthday came around and Grete invited me to join her (and our buddy Justin) on another ski traverse.  This isn’t the first time she’s asked me to walk pretty far in ski boots… Our relationship got its first glimmer while wandering for 14 hours during the Elk Mountains Grand Traverse a […]

The Forgotten Season

December 2012 to April 2013 – My second winter out in the Wasatch I skied alot.  I was fortunate to meet a new (and always available) friend and touring partner – Jesse Dudley – who was just as stoked to get out and after the mountains! The season also offered the most snow of my three […]

Fatbikes + Skiing = Adventure

2/28 & 3/2/2015 – Unfortunately, there hasn’t been much snow up in Northwestern Montana recently, but -on the plus side- the fatbiking has been excellent.  The trails have generally re-frozen or melted out and there is a quality weekly night group ride through Glacier Cyclery that we’ve been enjoying. Also, Grete and I grabbed the “Galloping Goober” […]

Spring in Washington

Late April through early May – After the season had wrapped up in Utah, Grete and I headed to visit my folks in Seattle and to start work on our new summer home… A 1973 Airstream Argosy 24′.  The project was all-consuming for roughly three weeks but we occasionally got out for quick hikes and brief […]
