3/22 to 3/25/2019 – As the cold days of winter begin to lengthened, the siren song of the deep heart of the mountains becomes unavoidable. The stints of sunshine and birds singing quickly remind us that the mountains are opening their arms to us. It gently lulls us into a false comfort with the assumed […]
Read more "Many to McDonald"9/18 to 9/19/2018 – I’ve now had the good fortune to work the Sperry Glacier spring mass balance trip 4 years in a row, but had not yet had the opportunity to get up to Sperry for its fall measurements. This fall was different. With any trip up to the glacier, weather matters most and […]
Read more "Fall Sperry Glacier Mass Balance Trip"This post is going to be a hefty one… It ought to cover all the hiking and backpacking (where I happened to bring a camera) from 2018. So here we go: 5/19 to 5/20/2018 – Grete and I had the itch to get out camping, even though there was still a good bit of snow […]
Read more "A Whole Bunch of Wandering… By Foot"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 […]
Read more "Hanging On To Winter…"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 […]
Read more "Spring in Glacier – 2016"4/1 to 5/9/2016 – When you get a call from your best buddies proposing that they might come stay with you for a month, take them up on it. Then they’ll stay longer. And keep coming back. And that’s the best part. That was the case when Jonny and Leslie came back to town last […]
Read more "Some Family Outings"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 […]
Read more "The Lovely Month of September"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…"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 […]
Read more "Early Summer Adventuring…"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 […]
