Hanging On To Winter…

5/5 to 5/30/2017 – We had an excellent winter here in the Flathead Valley, with storm after storm rolling in and filling the mountains with plentiful snow.  Therefore, come spring time, there was plenty of skiing still to do (and plenty more currently).  Here are photos from a handful of great spring outings in the […]

Spring in Glacier – 2016

5/2/2016 – I finally got the chance to get out with the local mountain legend, and my awesome boss, Don Scharfe.  This fella has a level mountain mastery that the community of the Flathead Valley respects and learns from.  His passion and skills are self taught and come simply from years spent in zealous wandering in […]

The Lovely Month of September

9/3 to 9/20/2016 – Suddenly it was September, and the long, warm days of summer quickly transitioned into crisp and ever-shortening days of autumn.  With this change in season, came a renewed vigor for the outdoors (because fall is the BEST time of year to play in the mountains). Grete and I joined a large […]

Early Summer Adventuring…

5/8 to 6/8/2016 – Here is another collection of photos from day-trips early on this summer…  We’ve got a couple pictures from tandeming up Going to the Sun Road, a run up in the Cabinets Wilderness, as well as a jog up to Triple Divide Pass and Medicine Grizzly Lake in Glacier.  That lovely lady Grete really likes […]

The Red Meadow 100(ish)

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 […]

The Yoho Traverse

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) […]

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 […]

Montucky Summertime

5/31 to 8/2/2015 – Well, it’s been a glorious summer so far in NW Montana.  Grete and I have been outside so much that I really haven’t had a chance to edit -let alone post- photos and stories of our adventures… So here is a super broad post covering a couple of months of incredible […]

Uncle Mike’s Visit

5/1 to 5/4/15′ – Over the past couple years I’ve heard many stories of Grete’s adventurous Uncle Mike from herself and her family.  They all seem to lovingly refer to him as “crazy” and describe the trips he takes  he takes as “unbelievable.” He has bicycle toured through much of North America, India, China, Southeast Asia, and South […]
